The hills are finally covered in a beautiful dusting of snow, just in time for the 47th Annual Wi
nter Hike!
The frozen waterfalls and ice formations make for a breathtaking back drop as you trek the 6 miles from Old Man’s Cave to Ash Cave. Better known as the ‘Grandma Gatewood Trail’, the trail is named after the first woman to walk the Appalachian Trail, at the age of 67, no less!
Taking place on Saturday, January 21, this very popular event brings more than 5,000 hikers every year and is free for the whole family. The park offers continuous starts from 9am – 11am at the Old Man’s Cave Visitor’s Center, and shuttles are provided to transport hikers back from Ash Cave. Layered clothing and good footwear are recommended and refreshments will be available at Cedar Falls.
When you’ve finished the hike, warm up in front of the fire in our Fireside Lounge or in any of our cabins or cottages! Relax with a massage at our Spa, and enjoy a delicious gourmet dinner in our award-winning restaurant!
Join us in the Hocking Hills this winter! Things don’t slow down just because there’s snow on the ground! Welcome, and Enjoy!
