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 were AMAZING! We got married at Ash cave in June and could not have asked for a better ceremony. It was beautiful and intimate just like we wanted. Lisa’s photos turned out beautifully, I’m glad to have them to look back on. Having them both there was like having a fun aunt and uncle there cheering you on and celebrating! We wouldn’t have done our wedding any other way.
We had such a wonderful experience! They made our ceremony feel so relaxed and special. Everything went smoothly and they were so kind and easy to work with throughout the process. They helped make our wedding day stress-free and memorable. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to get married in Hocking Hills!
We loved working with Lisa and Derek!! They did a wonderful job organizing and helping with last minute changes due to weather. We would 100 percent reccomend to anybody looking to have a wedding in the Hocking hills area!
Lisa and Derek were great! They accommodated us on short notice. We had expected a complete washout due to the rain, however it seems God had other plans. We had a very short stint of rain, followed by what appeared to be the only blue sky visible in the area! The quaint venue was perfect for us. It was a pleasure to meet Lisa and Derek. I highly recommend them for your service!
Loved loved loved! Would absolutely recommend The Traveling Chapel to anyone looking to get married in Hocking Hills area!!! Wonderful, kind people! Lisa is an absolute delight, and took wonderful pictures. Thank you so much for making my day absolutely perfect 💖
