The road to Chicago from West Virginia is well traveled. It’s basically the four-lane all the way. Is there any good place to stop and take a break? This is the question Robert, Daniel and I had as we were driving back to Headquarters on Tuesday. We were pleasantly surprised that this was indeed true! Following the signs 10 miles off the highway to Hocking Hills State Park, we had no idea what was awaiting our arrival!

Little did we know that this little creek was the starting point of......this amazing canyon cutting through the Ohio countryside!The long decent into the gorgeWe couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the trail disappear underground!Robert reposing for a rest :)No guard-rails meant greater freedom - but only to a certain extent!      This spectacular bridge surprised us as we turned a bend in the trail.Everything was lush and green after a morning rain.A birdseye view of the trail winding through the gorge.Watch your step, Robert!Daniel! Where did you go?At first we didn't believe the sign that boasted these trails the best in the state; but we were soon convinced!
