The group hiked the yellow trail at PCHS which runs along Aukerman Creek. There are five hiking trails totaling a little over 7 miles at PCHS. The blue trail is titled the Enchanted Storybook Trail featuring kiosks with pages from a book chosen by the Preble County Library District. The trails are open 7 days a week from dawn until dusk. Dogs are welcome while on a leash. The address is 7693 Swartsel Road, Eaton.
