A dreamy picture of a sunrise along the Ohio & Erie Canal at Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. Last fall, photographer Wookie Kim went on an epic 45-day trail running road trip, driving to more than 30 national parks – from Cuyahoga Valley to the Grand Canyon – and running a trail each day. Wookie says: “In all, I ran almost 500 miles of trails, gained 70,000-plus vertical feet, hit 33 states and had one unforgettable experience. It was the trip of a lifetime.” iPhone courtesy of Wookie Kim.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is gorgeous this time of year – and it’s only a short distance from the urban areas of Cleveland and Akron! The winding Cuyahoga River gives way to deep forests, rolling hills and open farmlands. Beaver Marsh (pictured here) is a favorite location for watching wetland birds and other wildlife.
