Hocking Hills Day Trip-Part Two
As promised I will be back to posting recipes again tomorrow. Until then check out the last of our Hocking Hills Day Trip.
Hocking Hills, in Logan Ohio, has unique rock formations, bridges, rock stairways, tunnels, stone walls and the most amazing site of all was Old Man’s Cave! I have many pictures below so scroll on down if you want to see some of the beautiful sites we saw. We walked on top at the highest point then climbed down to the lowest point. There is so much to do here like cabins to rent, a zip line, petting zoo, paddle boats & canoes to name a few. I can’t say enough about this state park so put on your hiking shoes and go visit. http://www.hockinghills.com
This is the new Welcome Center right at the hiking entrance to Old Man’s Cave.
We walked from the upper falls to the lower falls and back.
This is why three people have died here since June. The most recent had a tree limb fall on her. This happened the day after we were there! Even my husband took a tumble scraping up his knee.
The picture below is the Sphinx Head.
This was the only part of the park I thought didn’t fit. It was steps going over the water and pretty ugly!
I hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as we did being there.

We did so much stopping, looking and picture taking it’s hard to say. With doing all of that I think we were gone about 1 & 1/2 hours (just guessing). It was so amazing….thanks!

Stunning pictures, Diane!! Your country has such unique stone structures and wonderful waterways!! It’s concerning about industry’s impact on them, which has been in the news lately, as such nature is not easily rehabilitated. I really love these travelogues!!

Thank you Donna! Yes if our society doesn’t start taking better care of our wildlife and nature in general we will lose it. So many birds have gone extinct along with many endangered species. Haven’t seen a post from you for a while. I hope you are doing well!❤

I know as we stood in certain spots we could see how easy it would be to step off a cliff. I would think eventually some of the large rocks would fall but we didn’t see any signs of it.

Wow! So many gorgeous photos, Diane. How terrifying about the tree limb. I’m so glad you made it out safely minus your husband’s tumble. Hope he’s all healed up now! Thanks so much for sharing with us. 😁

Yes they were arrested. One kid texted someone about what happened and it was turned over to the police. His guilt got the better of him. So many lives destroyed that day.
