Old Man's Cave with Robin & the girls ~ 48 pics

While on my vacation in Ohio, Robin took the girls and I to a beautiful place called Old Man's Cave in Hocking Hills National Forest. It's a long hike in a canyon with a lot of beautiful waterfalls. A lot of the water was frozen which made it look even cooler.

Here are some random shots of some of the views we got to see. My photos don't even do the place justice. I look forward to visiting again some day.

That's all! :)

It is beautiful up there!!! And so perfect for a hike with the dogs!!
I love all pics !!!

Oh Kay, Robin is going to be so happy to see this thread:D She's been wanting to see these pictures for a while!

I wish I could have been along. It looks like a beautiful place.

Great pictures, thanks so much for sharing them with us! Guess you, as a Florida girl, don't get to see so many icicles usually, huh? ;)

Beautiful pictures. You guys are so lucky to have visited there. I love
the cave areas around the midwest. It's like walking through a primeval
forest. :)

Beautiful pictures, Kay. Hocking Hills is one of my favorite places.

BEAUTIFUL!

That is one places I want to visit before I graduate from college -- hopefully Mike and I will get to do that, hike around in the spring when it gets warmer. =)

What a fabulous place! I would love to go hiking there :D Thanks for sharing so many fantastic shots.

The pictures were magnificent. What a beautiful place to visit.

Oh, wow, how beautiful and what memories that brings back. We took the kids when they were quite young and then when they were in high school their youth group went every year and we chaperoned every year. With the age span of our kids, we went for quite a number of years. There is a youth camp nearby that we stayed at which also has some great hiking areas and then we spent one day hiking at the park at Old Man's Cave. Only one year did we go in the winter - sometime in March as I remember and it was cold but lots of fun! Glad you got a chance to see such a beautiful spot and with such special friends too.

Gorgoeus photos Kay, what a pretty area :).

That photo of you sitting on the side of the cliff made me feel a bit un easy though, i have a fear of cliff's and faling LOL.
