Ice along canyon walls, Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio. March 10, 2014.
Old Man’s Cave is a recess cave in a gorge in Ohio’s Hocking Hills State Park. Betsy and I have been to the park a couple of times and have enjoyed hiking down to the cave. The park contains several waterfalls which had very little water when we visited before, so we went back there in early March hoping to find more flowing water. We found more water, but we also found a great deal of ice, which was unexpected.

The walls of the gorge were covered in ice in many places, which was very beautiful but made it tricky to get down to the floor of the gorge.

Once I got down to the floor of the gorge, it was fascinating to see the huge columns of ice reaching from an overhang to the base of the cliff. In the photo above you can even see some blue ice in the column.

Gorgeous. Falls has turned into icicles.

The photos are beautiful, even the ones with frozen water. Those in particular have a bit of an eerie feel to them.

These are spectacular! Each shot is unique and I love the one you framed with the tree trunks. Glad I enlarged them, to see more detail… including the man at the top of the third photo. Awesome!

Hi George, it’s great to see your “take” on these frozen waterfalls too. Thanks for sharing. Greetings, Jo

Frozen waterfalls are so cool! You got some good shots of yours. Last December I spent a weekend in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon taking photos of all the icy falls.

Never seen ice like that. Wonderful photos George.

The frozen waterfalls along the gorge are so beautiful. And the blue ice is so unusual. I have seen it, rarely, and also green ice, which is more common here. Now I am curious as to what causes the color!

Great shots of a real deep freeze George
