Ohio: A Virtual Hike of the ADT
Category : Virtual Hike of the ADT
With over 500 miles of ADT our hike through Ohio took us from steep ridgeline hiking to riverside strolls. We enjoyed every step in the Buckeye State and found lifelong friends we will never forget. The twisting and turning Buckeye Trail led us across the southern portion of the state and into the big city of Cincinnati. When we reached Elizabethtown we took the southern mid-west route of the ADT into Indiana. Click on the links throughout this article to "Discover" more about Ohio!

OHIO:

The American Discovery Trail in Ohio is 507 miles long and follows the Buckeye Trail for most of that distance. We hiked through the southern part of the state. Ohio was the first state carved out of the Northwest Territory.
