Welcome back to my series hiking

Welcome back to my series hiking in Cincinnati, where Rocky and I explore local trails and let you know if they're worth visiting. Today we checked out Wilderness Nature Preserve. Rocky and I hiked the Trout Lily Trail, a one point, Seven Mile loop that winds through the woods and opens in a beautiful meadow. The trail is mostly dirt, well marked with signs and easy to follow. Along the way we found several benches where you can stop, relax, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The reserve also offers beautiful gardens and some great views overlooking the Ohio River. One thing to note is that there are several side trails throughout the preserve, but many of them are currently closed for maintenance. Be sure to follow the posted signs and stay on the open trails. Also, watch out for ticks, especially in taller grass sections of the meadow. Rocky had a tick on him after our hike. His flea and tick medication quickly took care of it, but it's still a good reminder to check yourself and your pets when you're finished. Overall, Rocky and I really enjoyed this hike. It's a low intensity, peaceful walk with scenic views, making it a great option if you're looking for a relaxing outdoor adventure.
