Saltpetre Cave State Nature Preserve in Hocking Hills, Ohio
Saltpetre Cave State Nature Preserve in Hocking Hills, Ohio
An absolutely gorgeous sight! A frozen in time water cascade on the trail at Old Man's Cave. This multi-tiered natural masterpiece had to be 25ft tall and stretch over 100ft wide. The lowest tier is tall enough that you can walk behind it.
The lower falls at Old Man's Cave. If you want to see the falls at their peak, head there in late winter/early spring just as the snow melts and preferably after a heavy rain fall. Also if your schedule permits, head there on a weekday morning and you just might have the place to yourself for a bit. Old Man's Cave derives its name from the hermit Richard Rowe who lived in the large recess cave of the gorge. Rowe lived out his life in the area and is buried beneath the ledge of the main recess cave.

We appreciated the customer service. The new owner was a lovely man. Our room's heat did not work so they gave us a new room and a bag of some snacks and drinks.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,569 reviews)
Room was nice and the bed was comfortable! My biggest upset was that there was construction happening in the room next to us. I was hoping for a morning sleeping in but that didn’t happen once the construction began. Would be nice if they didn’t book rooms close to one under repair.

Conkles Hollow is a state nature preserve within the Hocking Hills region. Its sheer cliffs of Black Hand sandstone rise nearly 200 feet above the valley floor. The deep, cool gorge, which is only 100 feet wide in places and is considered to be the deepest in Ohio, has numerous waterfalls cascading over its sandstone cliffs. The lower trail through the gorge is about 1 mile and is accessible for the most casual of hikers. The rim trail is a couple miles long and is a bit more strenuous.

There are seven different hiking areas in the park. This is on the way to the Cedar falls area of the park. #OnTheRoad
