Upper Falls at Old Man's Cave - short walk/25 steps
One of the most popular of all the Hocking Hills hiking areas is Old Man's Cave. The Upper Falls is also located here and is another popular wedding spot. Old Man's Cave derives its name from the hermit Richard Rowe who lived in the large recess cave of the gorge. His family moved to the Ohio River Valley around 1796 from the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee to establish a trading post. He and his two dogs traveled through Ohio along the Scioto River in search of game and happened upon the Hocking Hills region. He soon called this location 'home' by building staircases and shelters to live out the rest of his days in these caves.

Lisa and Derek are the Traveling Chapel and we did not know what to expect but they managed to make our wedding day perfect. The ceremony was beautiful and we could not see ourselves getting married any other way.Thank you both for our beautiful day.
Hiring The Traveling Chapel was the best possible decision we could have made. Derek and Lisa care. They care about your wedding ceremony, pictures, and overall experience.My daughter and son-in-law got the stress free private ceremony they wanted and we have professional photographs to cherish.
