I thought I'd share these pics of Columbus I snapped from my favorite hiking spot in the SE Metro. Not many people get to see Columbus from this point of view so enjoy :)

Chestnut Ridge, right?  I remember seeing that view back in 2002 when I was 'exploring' Columbus.  Well done.

NICE!!!!!! =-0)

Yep Chestnut Ridge! That and Slate Run Metroparks offer the best elevated views of Columbus.

Neat stuff!

cool...I need to check that out. 

 

 

great job, that is an unusual view --- i never knew of this park

Awesome!

Great Shots!      Wow, their are hills in central Ohio!  :wink:

haha yep they's hills in them thar parts... Actually the park boasts as being the first Northern ridge in the Appalachain foothills of SE Ohio. I live just north of the hills and can see em from my 2nd and 3rd floors. I may take more pics next time i'm up there and the sky is clearer.

Cool view, but it certainly isn't my favorite view of the C-bus skyline.

Who's the chick in the last photo?

that's my niece

-awkward...-

I noticed on the Chestnut ridge website that the park is considered a metro park.  Is it apart of a larger parker system like the Emerald Necklace in Cleveland?

oh yea.. Columbus is ringed with Metro Parks though not a continuous ring per say.

The farthest metro park reachs into South East Ohio:
