After a blustery day of hiking at Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, our jaws were more tired from dropping in awe than our legs were tired from the trek.
Clifton Gorge is a 268-acre preserve in Yellow Springs, protecting “one of the most spectacular dolomite and limestone gorges in the state,” according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Two miles of the Little Miami Scenic River runs parallel to the preserve’s hiking trails, cascading sharp waterfalls along the glacially carved route.
