The last area of the Hocking Hills
adventure was to the Cantwell Cliffs. As stated I love exploring around rocky outcrops and this site didn’t disappoint me.
The cliffs were beautiful to behold. We, also, walked a trail down through a wooded hollow. At the gorge’s end a steep rock shelter was
found. One needs to work through two huge rocks known as the “Fat Woman’s Squeeze”. Hand hewn rock steps flow through these rocks. Many other man-made steps are located at various places to aid in walking.
The large trees were quite impressive as well. We later worked another trail, that for the most part, flowed the cliffs upper rim.
The hollow features a small stream known as Buck Run.
As we walked these trails the skies darkened and a light rain began to fall. Threats of severe weather forced a decision to abandon the hikes for another time.
