Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.
Okay, so, yet again it’s still 80 degrees outside, but it is technically fall, and I just have to take that as a win.

From waterfalls that look straight out of Rivendell to castles hiding in plain sight, the Buckeye State knows how to do autumn. Grab your camera and maybe a sweater, just in case (I know it’s wishful thinking, just let a girl dream), and let’s explore some of the most beautiful fall spots in Ohio.
