Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is the only national park in the state. It’s a unique experience. Many privately owned homes and properties are peppered throughout the area. However, the train came first and the town was built up around it. When the area was designated a national park in 2000, so when the national park declared boundaries it had to work around the privately own land and buildings giving it a strange structure. The best way to experience the park is to take a train tour. It also has over 125 miles of hiking trails. Directions Address:6947 Riverview RoadPeninsula, OH 44264(41° 15’45.3″ N) (81°…

Hiking with Inflammation
What is Hashimoto’s Disease? Hashimoto’s is an auto-immune disease where the immune system doesn’t recognize hormones. Particularly, the hormones produced by the thyroid. My own immune system attacks my thyroid. This disrupts how my body uses and produces energy and in turn effects many other organs and how they function efficiently. Finding remedies for inflammation is so important in managing auto immune diseases. Hiking with inflammation is one of many difficulties I have with this disease.
