UPCOMING
SATURDAY, April 27th - First Annual
Grandma Emma Gatewood Day - 6:30pm; Celebrate the life of the first lady
of Ohio hiking with a Twilight Hike of Ash Cave led by State Park Naturalist
Pat Quackenbush. Once in Ash Cave you will "meet" Grandma
Gatewood. Emma Gatewood gained international fame when she became
the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail (all 2,180 miles)
solo and she was 67 years young when she made the historic hike.
Grandma Gatewood was also a primary founder of the Buckeye Trail, Ohio's
official hiking trail system. Her favorite place to hike was
Hocking Hills and the Grandma Gatewood Trail takes hikers from Old Man's
Cave to Ash Cave. On December 20, 2012 Governor John Kasich signed
HB 492 establishing April 27th as Grandma Emma Gatewood Day. April
27th was selected as the day to honor the first lady of Ohio hiking
because on April 27, 1967 Governor James Rhodes signed legislation making
the Buckeye Trail the official hiking trail of Ohio. Meet at the
