What’s Waiting For You At The End Of This Epic Hike In Ohio Will Leave You In Awe

Sometimes, when you're craving a feeling of accomplishment, you just need to conquer something challenging. (Other times, you just want something like 8 Incredible Hikes In Ohio That Anyone Can Do.)

Hiking in Ohio is the perfect way to feel accomplished, alive and proud---and as an added bonus, you can take in some pretty amazing views along the way. One such trail that will reward you with breathtaking views after a fairly challenging hike is the Rim Trail at Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve in the beautiful Hocking Hills region.

Take a look:

This rugged, rocky gorge is often considered one of the deepest in Ohio with 200-ft. cliffs, according to the state park's website.

The Rim Trail is 2.5 miles long and takes approximately an hour and a half to complete, so plan accordingly.

The trail itself is gorgeous, but it's a fairly strenuous hike that's ideal for the adventurous hiker.

Be sure to stay on the designated trails, as hiking here can be dangerous if you stray off the path.

As you get closer to the top, the anticipation builds...

...and the views atop the 200-ft. cliffs will truly inspire you.

Standing up there, you'll feel like a hero (and you'll want a photo or two to prove it.)

The scenery is truly your reward....

...and no matter the season, you'll be captivated by the beauty of it.

Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve is located at 24858 Big Pine Rd., Rockbridge, OH 43149. Have you hiked the Rim Trail before? What was it like? Share your photos with us via our Only In Ohio Facebook Page!
