Highbanks Metro Park Hike
|
Global Engagement and the English Conversation Program will be taking a day trip to
Highbanks Metro Park on March 21.
Highbanks is named for its massive 100-foot-high shale bluff towering over the Olentangy State Scenic River. Tributary streams cutting across the bluff have created a number of deep ravines in the eastern part of the 1,200-acre park.
Columbus has one of the best metro park systems in the country and is a great way to get some fresh air, exercise, and socialization. We will walk, talk, and witness the first spring flowers so bring your camera.
Plan to meet at the Ohio Union bus turnaround at 4:30 p.m. All students are invited, so bring a friend! To register, visit
go.osu.edu/HighbanksHike.
