Leo Petroglyph Trail

Ohio History

Rocks in the Gorge

The engraved rock at Leo Petroglyph was not the only thing to admire. In fact, the sandstone bedrock was not only exposed here, but also in the steep gorge nearby. Magnificent rock outcroppings extended from colorful foliage high above the gurgling stream at the bottom of the narrow valley. Autumn trees contrasted with tall pines as we hiked down the slippery trail on the side of the gorge. Imagine the force of the Flood waters as they cut out these beautiful sculptures in the rocks!
