5.73 mi total 

Copied from meetup

Hikers will meet in Mariemont at the parking lot north of the National Exemplar, and we will shuttle to the Milford trailhead, and enjoy a 5 mile hike back to Mariemont along the Buckeye Trail. The trail here follows the bike trail to 50 West, and then follows Route 50 to Mariemont. We'll end near the parking lot, and we'll be at Mariemont in time to enjoy luminaria night and the tree lighting festivities. Weather-appropriate holiday attire encouraged! Flashlights will be helpful - sunset will be 5:15PM
