The Buckeye State is home to some truly amazing hidden gems. Few people know about the unique carvings at Worden’s Ledges. Tucked away in northeast Ohio, these ledges are hiding in Cleveland Metroparks in Hinckley Reservation. The ledges themselves are captivating to walk through, but the faces carved into them make you feel as if you’ve temporarily entered another world.
