Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

It’s finally starting to feel a little like winter out there, which means it’s time for one of my favorite activities. There’s nothing quite like a beautiful hike when the ground is dusted with snow. There are so many gorgeous trails in Ohio that offer beautiful views and peaceful vistas. Be sure to check weather conditions before you head out and don’t forget to layer up! It’s Ohio and you never know how quickly things could change. Happy exploring, Columbus!
