the Hocking Hills. Enjoy the beauty of winter while indulging in some of your
favorite comfort foods. For six days, you can taste these dishes all around the
region. Go for the gusto and try to taste all 13 in a day or take a leisurely
tour and take as long as six days. Best of all, there are plenty of things to
do in Hocking Hills. At the first guilty twinge, just set out for a hike on one
of our trails toward a popular site such as Old Man’s Cave, Ash Cave, Rock
House and Conkle’s Hollow. In addition to using some of that comfort food fuel,
you will be treated to a feast for the senses as you pass cave walls covered
with ice beards and waterfalls frozen in suspended animation.
