HIGHBANKS METRO PARK

Yesterday afternoon I used my AllTrails application to find somewhere to hike in Columbus, Ohio. My AllTrails advised me that Highbanks Metro Park was within 10 miles of my late afternoon appointment.

Highbanks is named for its massive 100-foot-high shale bluff towering over the Olentangy State Scenic River. Tributary streams cutting across the bluff have created a number of deep ravines in the eastern part of the 1,159-acre park. Ohio and Olentangy shales, often containing outstanding large concretions, are exposed on the bluff face and sides of the ravines.

Weather conditions when I set out for my 11 mile hike were ideal as it was a reasonable 75°
