Here’s a night hike with lights. This is my fifth hike of the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks Winter Hike Challenge. I have to do 6 assigned parks each month for 3 months, and a total of 18 to complete the challenge.

I did this hike at night to see the lights, which many of the Metro Parks have up in December. Inniswood Metro Gardens has a variety of landscapes, and I’m constantly here watching the changing of the seasons. It’s one of my favorite parks.

I arrived at dusk, just before sunset on a weeknight.
It was a beautiful evening.
The lights are on.
A poor quality photo of the trail map.
My camera doesn’t do good quality low light photos.

Many of the trees are lit from the bottom.
