Steve’s take

About an hour west of I-77, Hocking Hills is a detour that rewards the adventurous family. Old Man's Cave is a gorge trail with waterfalls that looks like it belongs in Lord of the Rings, not southeastern Ohio. The main trail is less than a mile and doable with kids. If you have the time and a family that likes to hike, this is one of those stops that turns a road trip into a story. If you don't have the time, file it away for the next trip.
