Rock House 2

Around Ohio

Here are a few more pictures from Rock House. It is the only actual cave in the Hocking Hills area. It sits about halfway up a 150-foot-high cliff of Blackhand sandstone. The main corridor is about 200 feet long and 20 to 30 feet wide, with an average ceiling height of 25 feet.
 
This view shows one of the openings at the front of the cave and the cliff above it.

Below you can see one of the "windows" from the inside of the cave.

This last picture looks up at the cliff on one side of the cave. Only moss and small ferns were able to hang on to the rocky side of the precipice.
