Winters grip on Ol’ Kentucky - gone at last
🥾 Hiking Adventures
📝 As we start the great melting of 26, I wanted to share my favorite off trail adventure this icy cold winter season. This route seems to get worse each year with down trees and impossible to follow user paths. The scramble down to the arch was also interesting in the snow with a few luge type shoots we got to enjoy. All in all an awesome winter adventure with big payoffs.

The small but mighty Hocking Hills
📝 Near Columbus Ohio, Hocking Hills is a perfect day or overnight trip. It’s a themepark style park with tons of great features in a safe and family-friendly park. I’d reccomend avoiding peak season. The cold months are great, especially on weekdays. Springtime waterfalls would be epic.
📍Logan, OH
🗺️Hocking Hills State Park
🥾 Most of the main features could be done in 5 miles of hiking. Think Red River Gorge, but in a smaller, more compact space.

You can feel its weight from under these rocks - Whittleton Arch
🔍 🌿🍄 🧐 🐌 📸
📝 Family friendly, but almost always muddy so be prepared for that. It’s a beautiful wooded trail that follows a creek bed to the arch. It’s 2-3 miles out and back.

A perfect frame 🖼️
📍 Lower Chimney Top Falls, RRG, KY
📓This time of year is filled with off-trail, backcountry exploring. The winter season allows user paths to open up that are less trodden. It also offers an opportunity to explore without being destructive, as the forest sleeps. Many of these places are seasonal and require significant recent rainfall, another reason to defer these explorations to the wetter months. This relationship with the woods allows us to explore the woodlands in a maintainable and less destructive way. We reduce our visits to minimize our impact on the forest and only visit when we’re sure to experience the space’s beauty to the fullest.
