Leo Trail
Ohio History
Fern Rock
Here are some shots coming down into the gorge. The hike down over slippery rocks was quite treacherous, and we considered turning back. I’m glad we didn’t!! The fern cascading over the rock above was one of the first marvels we saw. Compared to the rock ledges we were descending, this boulder was small (say five feet high).
Stream Below
Finally, we’ve reached the very bottom of the gorge, trickling with a small stream. The rocky wall was simply awesome as it rose fifty or sixty feet above our heads! The stone surface was covered with ledges, holes, and pancake-like layers. Tree roots and vegetation dangled over the edge as if hanging on for dear life; it was amazing how much plant life was flourishing in the rugged environment.

Fascinating and beautiful. Was the footing slippery with the leaves?

God's handiwork is awesome. Beautiful place to enjoy.
Yes, the trail down was quite slippery with the rocks and leaves. And a fall would land you on the rocks far below!
Wow, amazing! Weren't there any guardrails or fences?
No, there were no fences on the trail, and one narrow bridge didn't even have railings. I guess it was 'hike at your own risk'!
