Trip to Hocking Hills

This is a photo I took at the top of a crevass in Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. Can you spot the 2 kids near the water?

Verse for the day:

“He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.” Prov 21:21

My family loves to travel. One of our newest favorite places to visit is Hocking Hills OH. They have 8 state parks in Hocking County -- if that’s not enough trees for you, something’s wrong!

Here’s some information about the place you may find helpful, should you decide to go:

Ohio does not charge an admittance fee to any of its state parks. Nearly four million people visit the 2,000-acre Hocking Hills State Park annually.


If you’re one of them, be sure to visit Old Man’s Cave, named after a Civil War-era hermit, Richard Howe, who lived in one of the park’s caves. The cave is situated in the middle of tall trees that form a cool canopy above the heads of hikers and researchers (the park has several rare species). The scenery is gorgeous, though in the middle of a dry summer, the much-anticipated waterfalls were down to a disappointing trickle. Rock climbers and birders don’t mind the weather; both rock climbing and birding are popular events in Hocking Hills State Park.

After an afternoon of hiking, head to The Inn at Cedar Falls. Opened in 1987, The Inn at Cedar Falls consists of quality-built cabins, cottages with hot tubs, and a lodge that provides comfortable accommodations.

The cabins are positioned in the midst of trees, though all are within walking distance of the Inn’s restaurant, which offers three daily meals prepared by a sous chef. A handicap accessible cabin and cottage are available with plans to build more.

If you do visit these places, let me know what you think. I’m always curious to hear about other people’s travel experiences – what they like and didn’t like about a place.

Take care,
