Fun trail, I’ll be up there at the end of the month. If you’re in the area make sure and get down to great seal outside Chillicothe.
I have to drive to Dayton this weekend so I’m thinking of hitting John Bryan or Buck Creek. I’d like to try the ones at Dillon, The Wilds and eventually Mohican
John Bryan is nice, certainly easier than Alum, kinda like a nice switch backing stroll through the woods.
Mohican is awesome but absolutely grueling, even the shorter 8 mile loop start you off with a couple hundred foot climb.
If you’re in the Dayton area and want something a bit more technical try MOMBA at Huffman metro park. It’s just north of the air Force museum.
I’m north of Columbus so that’s why I frequent Alum. Just happens that I have to drive to Dayton so I was looking for a couple longer trails there.
