[RRG] I have seen pics of some of the arches covered in snow (beautiful!), and I've been down there camping in 1" ice storms, too (not fun). I'd like to go...

I am interested in this hike. However, it looks to be about a 3 hour drive for me. How far are we hiking? I won't drive 6 hours roundtrip to hike for 2...
I'm interested in Black Hand Gorge. It has a cool name. I'm also free during the week. I'm in New Philadelphia, so it's what... 1.5-2 hour drive? ... icy? ...
My wife and I went to Mohican on Saturday. We hiked from the Pleasant Hill Dam to Little and Big Lyons Falls. Wow! They are frozen solid. Really neat...
Sounds like you had a good time. I haven't been there in the winter but I'm sure the falls are beautiful. If you are looking to do a bit of a longer hike...
Thanks Molly! I'll keep that in mind. That was my first time hiking at Mohican. Since moving to Ohio in October, we have not gotten out to hike very often...
