Cuyahoga is the only national park in the country inside a metropolitan area. It is sandwiched between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. As national parks go, it is one of the least spectacular: just a collection of rocks broken by glaciation and the erosion of streams that aren't very tall compared to ones in parts of the west.
But the west is a wild woman, sexy and seductive, luring unsuspecting voyagers into her bosom. The east is a refined woman, faithful and steady as a matriarch. Her land is old, the west is young. There is so much buried under her surface that time has unraveled her beauty. The west has high peaks, robust rapids and extreme environments featuring exotic landscapes. As she ages, she will become more like her sister in the east.
