The Waterfalls at the Gorge
Most people don't think waterfalls, lush green forests, and epic hiking when you hear Ohio let alone Akron.
Akron is known worldwide as the birthplace and home of Lebron James. But he is only one of the many gems Akron has to offer.
The Gorge with its many waterfalls is one of these gems.
Located right on the border of Akron and Cuyahoga Falls, the Gorge has everything from picnic ares, to multiple hiking trails, mountain climbing, waterfall climbs, among many other things.
Luckily for myself to Gorge is right next to me and I take full advantage of it.
I decided to share my jogs/hikes at the Gorge with you after getting interest after I wrote the "What are the Benefits of Running?" post last week.
Trigger, my Norwegian Elkhound puppy (over 1.5 years old), and myself go to the Gorge for runs/hikes multiple times every week. If we are lucky, we do a jog/hike every day there.
The following are the some photographs that I took this morning with my LG phone I think you will like of our jog/hike at the Gorge. As you will see, there is plenty of scenery and epic activities at the Gorge to raise your body's vibrations.
Hopefully these photographs give you an unique perspective about Akron that most people don't realize.
There are plenty of stories going all the way back to Native American chiefs holding tribal counsel meetings here, but we will save that for another post :)
Here is Trigger and I's journey this morning at the Gorge:
Getting ready for the jog
The walk down to the waterfalls
O wee water and waterfalls
Time to cross the falls
That's enough waterfalls for now :)
As close to the falls as you can get. Back in the 80s you could walk underneath here.
On to the next part of the jog/hike
Hope you these photographs of our journey brought some unique perspective to you.
That's what I love about Steemit, so many different people sharing different experiences throughout the world. So why not share mine?
This is only a third of the photographs I took so stay tuned for more about this journey at the gorge. It involves mud, fun, and lots of unique hiking trails and views.
Thank you as always for your time, attention, and support. It means the world to me :)

What a beautiful place to go running with your dog, makes me miss my dog. Wonderful memories to reminisce on now. Can't wait to be back submersed in nature for sure.
Amen my brother amenn, hope you get out there soon.
It just does so much good for the soul. At least it does for me. So i definitely take full advantage of it.
Appreciate your time and attention buddy.

I completely agree, I'm right there, you're most welcome.
:)
Wow what an amazing place to be. Love your fluffy dog - I bet trigger loves that place too . What amazing fun for you both. I can almost smell the fresh forest smells. It is really energizing to be around falling water so it must have been thrilling all round. Following you for more of your adventures.
Awh thank you so much.
You are so right he freakin loves it and it really gives me an energy boost.
And if you like fresh forest, I think you will like the photographs from the rest of the jog/hike.
Thanks again for your time and attention, means a lot to me.

What a gorgeous place! There are so many hidden places in cities that no one knows exists and they are special because of that. I would love to hike this area and enjoy the falls in person. Maybe some day I will get to see it. Keep the great photos coming!
You are so right it's wild, all these hidden gems scattered throughout the world, we just have to find them :)
I hope you get a chance too, it is a really spiritual place goes all the way back to Native American times.
And thank you so much I will. I know Trigger loves taking pictures haha :)
Recently, I feel very tired, but I feel as though I have become a healing sensation..^^
