Buckeye Trail Bedford Section: Bridal Veil Falls, Tinker’s Creek, and a race against the dark

On December 26, 2023, Victoria and Dave tackled 13.6 miles of the Bedford Section of the Buckeye Trail, starting late after holiday festivities. The route included forest paths, the dramatic ravines of Tinker’s Creek, and the beauty of Bridal Veil Falls. But time was against them, as trail closures and a late start meant pushing hard to finish before dark. This post captures both the awe of the scenery and the tension of hiking against the clock.
