HOCKING HILLS
Located in Southeastern Ohio, the Hocking Hills are a pristine collection of caves, trails and foothills of the Appalachians, formed by glacial action millennia ago.
Much here is accessible, even famed Ash Cave, a 90-foot high sandstone recess cave reachable by a paved trail through a woodland wonderland.
Hikers through this part of the Ohio State Parks system glimpse songbirds perched amongst the majestic hardwood trees and in the spring can view a waterfall cascading over the cave’s roof.
Nearby, a paved, wheelchair accessible trail was built in the picturesque valley floor of Conkles Hollow, also a part of Hocking Hills State Park.
The half-mile barrier-free trail gives wheelers a stunning look at the cool hemlock gorge, as well as views of the rock edifice of Blackhand sandstone towering above.
