Cuyahoga Fall: My husband and youngest son are away at Cub Scout camp this weekend, so I took the remaining children for a hike in the Cuyahoga Valley, once the winter hunting ground of the Iroquois. Or, I should say, they took me. They're much more familiar with the trails there from hiking with their dad in the summer while I'm at work. They led me over rocks and ravines



to their favorite place - a cave.



But even in the cool, dark gorge,



the leaves were beautiful, or at least the leaf litter was.



And eventually, we did climb to places where sunlight reached the trees



and the colors got brighter



and more varied



until we finally got to my favorite point on the trail.



Happy trails to you, dear readers.
