Hocking Hills, Ohio

In May, John and I visited with his college friend, Katrina, who lives in Logan, Ohio. She works as a wildlife biologist for the Wayne National Forest in the Hocking Hills region. It is such a beautiful and unique place!
While there, we saw lots and lots of spring warblers, and really cool rock formations and overlooks. Above is a picture looking out of the Rock House. While on the Rock House trail, we heard Cerulean Warblers, and saw Red-eyed Vireos, and a male Hooded Warbler.

This is a breath-taking overlook at Conkles Hollow. I can imagine it's even more amazing in the fall. At Conkles Hollow, we saw Black and White warblers and heard a lot of Black-throated Green warblers.
John and I really loved our horseback ride through Hocking Hills with Katrina and Carl. We brushed and saddled the horses first with the help of the guides, and then went up into the hills. It was a really pretty morning. We couldn't believe how well the horses could maneuver around the rocks and steep crevices.

Thank you for inviting us to Hocking Hills, Katrina and Carl! We'll definitely be back.
