Hocking Hills

After a few days of being in Ohio we went and visited one of its many wonders. We headed out early Friday morning hitting one of the old country roads that took us through many small towns of southern Ohio. We stopped at this random historic sight called Seip Mound. Even after the forest guy helped us we were still a little unsure at what we were looking at, but whatevs. I guess it dates back to about 2000 years ago, and it was a sacred ground of some natives. A place where they buried their dead. After we walked around, we headed back to the car and drove up the next few miles to Hocking Hills national park. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been too. That doesn't really say much but still, it was gorgeous. We hit three hikes that were pretty easy, the longest one being a two mile loop through green scenery. The first one we went to was called Ash Cave. It was a wide expanse of massive rock, and waterfalls. Then we hiked over to Cedar falls, we walked down into a canyon that led to a waterfalls which poured into a natural pool of clean, clear water. The last one was Old Man's Cave. The whole hike was beautiful, it was old and everthing was covered in green moss. There were tunnels, bridges, waterfalls all along the way. We were tired and sweaty by the end but it was definitely worth it.
