December at Cedar Falls

Cedar Falls in the Hocking Hills State
Parks is freezing now and it is looking
so beautiful. While Ash Cave’s falls is
not quite as pretty yet  but it should
look beautiful by the time the Winter
Hike rolls around the latter part of
January.

The water runs through a tunnel in this
ice formation and looks so pretty snaking
down through the frozen waterfalls.

 

With a five inch covering of snow and the cold
weather freezing the creek in the gorge everything
is sparkling and beautiful and so worth the walk
down into the gorge to view it all.

Every season at Cedar Falls  dresses the gorge in
beauty with the changes.

Sparkling ice formations now grace the
rock walls in the gorge.

A Frozen Old Man’s Cave

 
A walk along the upper trail of Old Man’s
Cave last Friday was a pretty one.
All of the waterfalls and run off around
the cave and trails are freezing now
and the effect is beautiful.
I was glad to get these pictures when I
did since on our way back out there were four
teenage boys with big limbs clubbing and
Knocking down all of the icicles.
I told them they were ruining it for the other
visitors to the park who want to see the
formations and take pictures but brats will
be brats. You say all this fuss about some ice,
well hundreds of tourists come in the winter
to take pictures and enjoy the beauty of the
parks in the winter.
Please do not destroy what you came in the
first place to see and enjoy like those
big teenage boys did. Those after you
may want to see and enjoy it too.
