Another must see while in the area. We were not able to take the upper level walk, but the lower lever is beautiful. Nice paved walkway back in about 3/4 of a mile in and then back out. Would visit again.

We did the bottom half and loved it! It was a gorgeous day and less crowded than Old Man's Cave, so we were able to actually look at all the formations and take in the nature. We for sure plan to come back to do the outer rim next fall!

Be careful, there are parts of the trail that are narrow and only a few steps from a straight drop 200ft down. Strava tracked a 684ft elevation gain and 6.74 miles with the gorge and rim trail combined. They are closing the trail in November to enlarge the parking area. The regular bathrooms are closed but there are port-a-johns on site. Note: all the trails in Hocking Hills have been converted to 1-way trails due to COVID. The directions are clearly marked.…
