If any of my out of town clients are looking for a place to stay, Kirsten Bachus has a rental property with availability! I’ll add it in the comments. 🌲❄️
If anyone books a stay for that weekend, I’ll offer a discounted session on the property or at the caves for the guests. This would be a great winter getaway for a couple!
🥾❄️ Step into a winter tradition at Hocking Hills State Park ❄️🥾
Join the Ohio Department of Natural Resources on Saturday, January 17 for the 60th Annual Hocking Hills Winter Hike, a beloved Ohio tradition and an official America 250 celebration event.
This guided six-mile winter hike winds through some of Ohio’s most iconic scenery—Old Man’s Cave, Lower Falls, Cedar Falls, and Ash Cave—where crisp air, towering hemlocks, and frozen waterfalls create a one-of-a-kind winter experience.
Along the way, hikers can warm up with bean soup and cornbread at Cedar Falls (courtesy of the local Kiwanis Club) and enjoy hot chocolate and doughnuts at Ash Cave (thanks to the local Lions Club) with donations accepted at both locations. Participants will also receive a limited-edition Winter Hike Series decal while supplies last.
🚗 Carpooling is encouraged; shuttle transportation will be provided
🧤 Dress in layers and plan for changing winter conditions
🕘 Rolling start between 9–11 a.m.
