    Did you all get a chance to do Conkles Hollow?

  5. Ali Raychouni on May 29, 2020 at 4:50 pm

    Great video, you guys should check out Pictured Rocks in Michigan.

  6. kits VA on May 29, 2020 at 4:51 pm

    Thank you for an amazing video. I hate myself for missing this place when I lived in Athens for 2-years doing MS in Ohio U during 1991-93 :-(. The place looks like a fairy tale location in your very well made video.

  7. Michael Prarie on May 29, 2020 at 4:51 pm

    Excellent films. I enjoy them. Thanks

  8. Be_content on May 29, 2020 at 4:52 pm

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

  12. John Potter on May 29, 2020 at 4:57 pm

    do you guys go to clifton gorge often

  13. Genifer Smith on May 29, 2020 at 4:57 pm

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

  14. Ramon Castillo on May 29, 2020 at 4:58 pm

    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.

  15. Glen Bland on May 29, 2020 at 5:00 pm

    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.

  16. Lee Grubb on May 29, 2020 at 5:00 pm

    You know they have a winter hike I believe in January. Hiked it twice! Once it was (O) degrees plus wind chill. Great hike!!! But the way you did it you had the park nearly to your self!

  17. Márcio Floripa on May 29, 2020 at 5:01 pm

    Amazing place. Very beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing

  18. thestew56 on May 29, 2020 at 5:01 pm

    Winter wasnt coming….IT WAS ALREADY HERE!

  19. DW's Southern Cooking & BBQ on May 29, 2020 at 5:01 pm

    I used to go there all the time in college its amazing

  22. Kevin Fry on May 29, 2020 at 5:02 pm

    This is one of my favorite places in Ohio! You guys really outdid yourselves with this beautifully shot video. Great work!!! I hope to hike with you guys one day.

  23. anthonymrbs on May 29, 2020 at 5:02 pm

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

  24. Jim Walz on May 29, 2020 at 5:05 pm

    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.

  25. Lostgirl hikes on May 29, 2020 at 5:08 pm

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

  26. Sheila Outside & Travel !! on May 29, 2020 at 5:09 pm

    Simply Beautiful 👍

  27. Woodenarrows on May 29, 2020 at 5:10 pm

    One of my favorite parks too… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj7tzT_CYVM

  28. Collier Fais on May 29, 2020 at 5:11 pm

    Awesome video guys! My friends and I met you at ash cave this day, we’re the one’s with the dog. Your other videos are cool too!

  29. botanyboy1 on May 29, 2020 at 5:12 pm

    Your videos are truly an inspiration for me.  The production level is incredible.  Keep up the good work.

  30. Deranged Survival - Eric Bourgault on May 29, 2020 at 5:13 pm

    Another great video guys. Calm soothing and peaceful. A perfect video to watch right before bed, good night.

  31. MARY Gigliotti on May 29, 2020 at 5:15 pm

    Thanks for this lovely video. I just bought a camper van and next pretty snowfall, I am heading there.

  32. Steve Lasley Photography on May 29, 2020 at 5:16 pm

    Great video! Professionally done!

  33. Ryan Murray on May 29, 2020 at 5:19 pm

    I was hoping for rock house during this video….I love Hocking. Of the 67 National Parks and Forests I’ve visited and hiked across the country, Hocking is still one of my favorite places!

  34. Adventure Coalition on May 29, 2020 at 5:19 pm

    Awesome vid, thanks.

  35. Sas Quatch on May 29, 2020 at 5:19 pm

    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!

  36. Jonathan Mulberry on May 29, 2020 at 5:23 pm

    STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

  37. AncientHistoryUncovered on May 29, 2020 at 5:23 pm

    Live very close to here, would love to hike with you guys. Being a nature photographer I’m jealous of all the places you guys go.

  38. TheSunkenGrave on May 29, 2020 at 5:23 pm

    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.

  39. State Parkers on May 29, 2020 at 5:25 pm

    A time lapse of that ice tower forming would be cool.

  40. Romeo Cunanan on May 29, 2020 at 5:25 pm

    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

  41. BSA Bushcraft on May 29, 2020 at 5:27 pm

    Been hiking there a couple times it’s awesome! Thanks for taking us along 🙂

    Abrahm

  42. TailEnd88 on May 29, 2020 at 5:28 pm

    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.

  43. Teds Outdoors HoodCraft Survival on May 29, 2020 at 5:29 pm

    Wow. that’s so beautiful! Thanks for showing.

  44. YorkWoodsman on May 29, 2020 at 5:31 pm

    What an amazing destination! Great vid. I may need to start planning on an Ohio backpacking trip?

  45. Scott Lewis on May 29, 2020 at 5:31 pm

    I’m here now taking a vacation. Beautiful place.

  46. Average Campers' RV Life on May 29, 2020 at 5:32 pm

    What a beautiful place!  Thank you for the video.

  47. Great Lakes Backpacker on May 29, 2020 at 5:33 pm

    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.

  48. Josh Rowdon on May 29, 2020 at 5:33 pm

    Beautiful video guys. I live in Perth, Western Australia and we literally never get snow, and watching this winter wonderland makes me very jealous! At least I get to enjoy it through your trip.

  49. Dan Dan on May 29, 2020 at 5:35 pm

    I’ve been here a few times as a kid.

  50. laughter95 on May 29, 2020 at 5:40 pm

    this place is beautiful…

    whose FJ cruiser is that??? freaking great car.
