Hocking Hills State Park Ohio Outing

 

We love doing what we love doing. It’s a passion that many don’t understand. Like going to bed at 2000 to wake up at midnight and after making breakfast to watch a sunrise on a fire tower that’s 3.5 hours away.

Those experiences for the people who know it is amazing and for others they say I would never.

After making a pot of fresh ground bean coffee and having breakfast I headed out to the Hocking Hills State Park area.

I had read other reviews about the fire tower and how unsuitable it is for some people. Yes, the stairs have no risers. The small platforms at each landing do have some chain link fences on them. You cannot enter the structure, but you still can see an amazing view. I will attach the timelapse below of the sunrise.



I would also be chasing a few waterfalls today. I would be staring at the hike a little earlier than normal for myself and that’s only because I was trying to stay ahead of the number of potential hikers today.

As I hiked up into the gorge of the Twin Sisters Falls you could see the erosion damage from the storms from last year. A good amount of soil erosion had taken place, and it exposed new rock formations. This also has exposed quite a bit of tree roots and they have also fallen.

Some of the newer smaller waterfalls you could see them because of the ice dams that they left behind.

I was only going to do a short hike because of the amount of time I was going to spend driving there and back. I would still get in a miler with an elevation deviation of over 3000 feet throughout the hike.


I changed my GoPro settings to shoot in 9x16 format because it was more important to see the high walls of the gorges.


I hope you enjoy the artwork.
