Away From the Crowds in Ohio
In Logan, you’ll find the caves of Hocking Hills State Park. When the Wisconsin glacier started melting thousands of years ago, the waters flowed over the land that is now part of the park. They rushed through cracks in the ground, creating deep winding gorges and recessed caves. The caves are large enough to walk into, such as the Rock House cave.
