DH and I signed up for the Devil's Backbone guided hike at Charlestown SP. This hike is only given in the winter and is closed to the public otherwise. Jeremy, a DNR Naturalist, was our guide, and he was outstanding. The hike itself is quite short and, except for a very short incline, is assessable to most. There are numerous downed trees, roots, and other trail obstacles however which might prove difficult for some. The story of this area is the real reason to go, and Jeremy does a masterful job engaging and drawing one in. That and some stellar views of the Ohio River make this a very fun hike. We finished off our time at CSP by taking a peak at Rose Island and returning via trail 3 which boost some pretty cool cliffs by the river.
