Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

Last week, we talked about Hocking Valley Scenic Railway and their awesome Fall Foliage train, but did you know there are actually more scenic trains you can hop on around Ohio? Whether you want to go zipping through a National Park or just meander around the Ohio countryside, there are some spectacular locomotive adventures waiting for you. Note: a lot of these train rides sell out quickly, so if you fall in love with one of the options, book it fast!

Today's Photo 🤳

Have a wonderful weekend, Columbus. If you go out exploring, consider visiting Walnut Woods Metro Park. It’s beautiful this time of year and is also home to Ohio’s second-largest Pin Oak tree. The old beauty is 110 feet tall, its trunk is 19 feet in circumference, and it’s between 150 to 200 years old.
