Rock House

Around Ohio

Since I'm done posting pictures from Newport Aquarium, I'll start back where I left off with photos from Hocking Hills. This next rock formation is known as Rock House. It's a long recess about halfway up a rock cliff lined with massive rock pillars along the front. It looked as if it would have made a perfect house for Native Americans hundreds of years ago.

This first picture looks out between two of the rock pillars at the forest outside. The cave was almost on the same level as the tops of the trees in the valley below.

The view below is looking down the cave recess, with the rock pillars along the left opening out onto the cliff face.

This picture shows part of the cliff on one side of Rock House. There were stone steps carved into the side of the cliff that gave access to it.
