The Colors of Fall

Last weekend, the hubs and I went for a ride on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. It's something we've been talking about doing for a few years now as neither of us has gone on it. So it was a nice, brisk fall day and we figured the colors would be at or near peak so we went.

The train itself was ok. They have a good system going. They have a cafe car where they sell food, but I was laughing because what they had, reminded me of movie theater food. They also give you head phones and a wireless receiver if you want to listen to the history of the railroad, towpath and the park system.

We boarded at the Rockside Station and road to Akron. We got off there but quickly realized there really wasn't anything to do there in the amount of time we had until the last train. So we got back on and road to Penisula. We got some history for one of the park rangers and he told us where to hike on the towpath to look at some of the history while walking along the tow path.

I was pretty amazed at what was around there and really had no idea that there was so much history in that part of Ohio. And even when I walked or biked on the tow path, the farthest I've gone is Sagamore Hills.

Here are some pictures of our afternoon:
