Hocking Hills is my favorite place to visit in the Buckeye State. In January, there is the Annual Winter Hike, and it is always a fantastic event, with a couple of thousand hikers, and no strangers. My home is in West Virginia, and when I visit, my Heart is fully there.

One of the most beautiful sights I've seen, gorgeous landscape

Amazing place. Very beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing

Love all ur videos guys hope u visit the Philippines, we have lots great hiking trails n mountains here, take care n more great adventures

Winter wasnt coming....IT WAS ALREADY HERE!

I hate winter, but for some reason, I've always wanted to go to Hocking Hills during the winter. I've been there in the summer and it is amazing.

This is one of my favorites.

Beautiful video. I photograph at Hocking Hills all the time.

Wow...at the 7:00 mark, the ice tower looks like a profile shot of an overweight bearded guy facing the cliff with his arms crossed. Totally cool! Great video, as usual, guys! Keep up the good work!

Never been there in the winter . I think your right it looks spectacular .

This place is magic in the winter. Great video... I felt like this captured exactly how wonderful it is there. Robby, my brain does the same thing everytime. It's just so massive I don't think my brain has the ability to comprehend it all at once... It's like overload. Earlier in the winter my wife and I were there and the tower was only about six ft high, I can't believe how tall it gets! I've even heard that the ice has connected to the river above before. While we were there someone also had their dog, except this guy had a dog sled and the dog was pulling him back to the parking lot, lol. It was slightly strange... but the dog seemed happy. Again great video! Very enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for more... especially full episodes :-)

Brian Lucas Yeah, it really is pretty amazing in the winter. We went once before and I think at Cantwell Cliffs there's a similar ice tower, but no where near as huge as this one. Hahaha, and that sounds like my kind of dog, would love to have one like that. Next full video coming at the end of this month. We just started editing it, so just a bit longer! Thanks for watching :) -Robby

Gorgeous park and I think hikers should not shun the winter season for truly the landscapes one thinks they know so well are suddenly transformed into a completely different scenery which is oft times so idyllic. BTW, the scene around the 6:35 mark is absolutely gorgeous. Well done.

STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

Visited all the parks in the hocking hills 2 or 3 times a summer during the 60s and 70s and loved it. Went back about 10 years ago and it was just overrun with littering, entitled humans. I prefer cherishing my memories to going back to the new reality. I've never seen it in winter thank you for this.

Nice video as usual, guys! My buddy and I did day-hikes at Hocking Hills in September 2014, followed by a couple of days of backpacking at Zaleski State Park. You're right about the size of Ash Cave -- I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the cave. Unfortunately, last summer must have been very warm, because when we were there in September, all of the waterfalls were non-existent and the water levels in the rivers and pools were very low or completely dried up. As impressive as the sights were, they would have been even more spectacular with large volumes of flowing water. The park looks amazing during the winter. Thanks for sharing.

Such a great place in the winter. If you are looking for a good off the beaten path place to explore check out Crane Hollow just east of Conkle's Hollow (state forest part of course. If you go too far north in the hollow it becomes a private nature preserve). It's a really cool spot I was exploring last weekend.

Wow... just stumbled onto your video. Very nicely done. And your right - winter here in the hills is beautiful which I think is the most scenic. However, for a completely different atmosphere... come in the spring. The echo of the falls is so loud you can't hear yourself think! I live just down the road from Conkle's Hollow.

So cool (pun intended) it looks like an incredible place to visit.

+Angie Brackin It definitely is! Really breathtaking.

This reminds me of going to the Seven Falls near Colorado Springs in winter. Unfortunately most of the parks around here require an entrance fee :[ However if you go during winter the prices are usually lower because there are not so many tourists around here that time of year. The waterfalls make crazy ice shapes, it's cool.

Great showcase of this Ohio state park and it’s beauty. As a Columbus local, I’ve only seen Cedar Falls and Old Man’s Cave. I’m gonna have to wait till late December to see that astonishing ice tower! Where is that slippery staircase? I would like to slide down it you did.

I went to hocking hills last summer and it was beautiful i got to swim under a waterfall .

YouADamnWitch It's funny, we've been there so many times, and we went there a few summers ago and I felt like I was getting tired of it. I think partly because you can't backpack there and you're technically supposed to stay on the trail I believe. But I still enjoy visiting in the winter, when it's quieter. It'd been a while since I was last there too when we filmed this, I think. --Andrew

There were also a crap load of kids there the day I went. I did like that the park was lousy with blueberries, I'll have to try the fishing too next time.
