Fan Photo: A Hike at Hocking Hills

Our Twitter follower Kristi Rhoads (@KNRHOADS) tweeted us this picture from her recent hike at Hocking Hills State Park!

This is a photo of the famous Old Man’s Cave, from a different angle than most photographs. Old Man’s Cave is one of the most well-known caves in southwest Ohio as it offers a breathtaking glimpse into the wonder of nature. Many marvel at the natural formation and often remark “I didn’t know that something like this was in Ohio!”

Old man’s cave has a rich history that you can read about in-depth here: http://www.1800hocking.com/old_mans_cave. Read more about the park at our website: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/hocking/tabid/743/Default.aspx
