Hocking Hills!

to drive far and you can save gas. It's the way you can hike, bike and
horseback ride your way to a greener vacation without losing out on the
fun. So . . . discover your eco-friendly side and discover some Green in
the Hocking Hills!
Picture Yourself Here . . .
This last wilderness of Ohio...
The
Hocking Hills
are romantic and wild, mysterious and haunting. We
are cascading waterfalls, endless hiking trails, and deep gorges.
We're cabins, cottages, camping and inn rooms and an adventure close
to home and in the heart of Ohio. Here, you can find an adventure,
explore recess caves and drown out your cares with a seemingly
endless number of waterfalls.
 This
last wilderness of Ohio...
We're relaxing in a swing on the back porch with a worn,
paperback book and feeling the breeze blow off cool cheeks along a rocky
ridge above Old Man's Cave. We're hiking in
the cool sandy alcove inside Conkle's Hollow, the sweet
scent of hemlocks riding the breeze and warm, red sunsets
slowly sinking into the horizon.
This last wilderness of Ohio...
We're the kind of wild that's as old as the
sandstone making up the walls in Old Man's Cave-a kind of wild
that's as refreshing as the cry of the eagles at Lake Logan. You can
explore our kind of wild here and make it your own kind of wild.
Find your hiking trail or rock climbing cliff. Discover the spring
wildflowers and the wild birds. We're Ohio's wilderness adventure!
