Take the path closer to the edge, especially if less traveled

I've wanting to go there for years with Mrs. Driftwoody, but she opted for the mountains of North Carolina (a wonderful destination) for our last vacation.
I've been steering clear of it in my solo adventures, since I still hope we'll visit Hocking Hills together.

This is my favorite destination in Ohio. I think it's far more impressive than Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The secret seems to be getting out now though: They've instituted a one-way walking system at almost every site and have made off-trail hiking "illegal", presumably because there are lots of big cliffs and a fall could be fatal. Note: I was in two minds to take that final shot at the Rock House, since I had to step over a short wall to get to the spot I'm standing at. There were no signs on the wall, unlike in other places with walled off sections, so I risked it, but I'm not sure it's allowed anymore. (I'd been to that spot many times before, prior to all the red tape, and the low wall, which may have swayed my decision, but I'm feeling pangs of guilt now.)

The 2nd to last shot almost reminds me of the ledges at Cuyahoga valley.
Is there a fee to state parks in Ohio?

Nope, no fee. There’s one magic waterfall in/near Hocking Hills that I still have to visit, but that requires a permit, and my laziness, combined with the red tape, has kept me away so far.

Great shots…! Thx for sharing. Reminds me of some of the stuff in Southern Illinois.
Happy Trails,
