Ash Cave Falls

Since it rained continuously for four hours and 250 miles on the drive to Hocking Hills, I expected the falls to be a torrent, but apparently it had not rained in this area of Ohio.

 

This picture is taken from within Ash Cave, looking out to Ash Cave Falls. This recess cave is formed by differential weathering of the sandstone, as water and wind carved out the (relatively) softer stone at the middle and base of the 90 foot cliff, leaving a thick ledge as the roof of the massive cave.

 

The East Fork of Queer Creek falls over the cliff to a small plunge pond at the cliff's base, and continues on to Queer River.
