Nelson-Kennedy Ledges

Nelson-Kennedy Ledges in Garrettsville, Ohio, is popular for picnicking and hiking. The rock formations at the 167-acre (0.68 km2) Nelson-Kennedy Ledges have become trademarks of the park. The sandstone cliff formations resulted from the forces of erosion—wind, water freezing and thawing—that wore away at the softer rock layers. As these soft layers eroded, large blocks of rock called slump blocks fell away leaving more resistant layers to form ledges above. Within the park are angled rock formations 50 to 60 feet (18 m) high with ground fissures as deep as 60 feet (18 m).
There are approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) of main hiking trails, as well as many unmarked and more dangerous paths.

You know, when I first looked at this the depth of the crevice did not really register! Then I took notice of the trees. Very impressive! And a beautiful shot too.

What a gorgeous place for a hike. Interesting how the trees have grown right on the rocks. Tenacious things, aren't they.
