Different gorges this time.
I took a day off the same day my kids had a day off from school. We stopped in to see my oldest daughter in college and took a side trip to hike.
This time, we went to Hocking Hills State Forest which, like Black Hand Gorge, is a park and nature preserve holding of the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources. Even though the leaves were past-peak, it was spectacular and a great use of a 70+ degree day in November in Ohio. It's a series of gorges that make it so.
The only history lesson, though, I could give was to tie it back to Black Hand Gorge. The sandstone here were the variety named after the Black Hand Gorge's famous black hand petroglyph.
Here's the photos:
