Penitentiary Glen Stairs Into The Gorge

I haven’t had much time to write lately, but have had plenty of time to take pictures. Yesterday we visited Penitentiary Glen in Kirtland Ohio, part of the Lake County Metroparks. The weather was pleasant and the temps were perfect for a walk down – and then up – the long stairway into the gorge. I counted about 135 steps. The stairway is moderately steep but very wide, so the walk down was comfortable. Just remember if you walk down, you have to walk back up, which can be difficult if you’re not in the best of shape. The trail ends below with a very small overlook to the stream below. Walking any further outside the overlook is restricted and can only be done in a pre-scheduled guided hike. Here are a few photos of the stairs.
