High Rock Hideaways
Hocking County
Last month my wife and I took a much needed vacation with our pup Maggie to Ohio's Hocking Hills region. We stayed at a cabin at High Rock Hideaways located not far from Ash Cave. A recent post I had seen in the Hocking Hills group intrigued me when I saw that the property boasted 9 waterfalls on their own trails. Booked. Our first day there Maggie and did some exploring on the trails so I could get a feel for the area but some light drizzle had me thinking we better return and it was a good idea. Within 15 minutes of arriving to the cabin it was raining. The next afternoon I headed out to explore these waterfalls more closely. The first falls I visited was called The Slide. Arriving at the top, it was a steep cascade waterfall that dropped at least 40 foot into a mini slot canyon. While standing there I noticed an undocumented arch in the cliff opposite the falls. Going to take a closer look at the arch I discovered a manageable scramble downstream from the falls. The scramble took me past two more waterfalls which were not really worth shooting. Once in the gorge I had to do some creek crossings and then a short scramble up the base of the falls which was a short dog leg to the main drop. Wow! I couldn't believe my eyes! Hands down one of the regions prettiest waterfalls and was the icing on the cake of a great trip with my wife and pup!
