We deliberate a fast weekend getaway to Jeffrey’s Cliffs Conservation and Recreation Space in Hawesville, Kentucky. This place has been on my listing to go to for some time now and we determined to remain in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Saturday morning we wakened early and drove the 35 minutes to Jeffrey’s Cliffs. We had been the primary automotive within the pretty giant parking zone off Willamette Street.
We adopted the path into the woods and on the first break up of the path, we headed to the proper to hike the Devils Den Loop.
This loop had a number of fascinating rock formations, however was a bit strenuous! The path climbed uphill for a bit and weaved round giant rock formations.
I liked how the path hugged the cliffs for some time after which began to descend to Morgan’s Cave. A small waterfall trickled from above the cave and looped again to the beginning of the loop.
In order for you a much less strenuous hike, skip the Devils Den half and simply hike out and again to Morgan’s Cave which is a fairly flat and brief hike.
The subsequent focal point is a set of stairs and ladders that lead you to the highest of Troop 36 Level. There may be a better solution to the higher trails so we continued on the decrease trails and hiked the Tobacco Cave Loop subsequent.
There’s a construction on the cave that they’d hold tobacco from to dry. This space has a number of historical past so be sure you test it out on their web site. Tobacco Cave was spectacular!
From right here we headed up the the Mossy Hole stairs. That is the best solution to attain the higher trails.
As soon as on the high, you perform a little little bit of rock scrambling, however after that the mountain climbing is pretty flat. We hiked to every of the 4 overlooks and took within the heat temperatures and solar!
As soon as we had been executed on the higher trails, we hiked out the best way we got here in and the parking zone was full by this time.
I actually loved this park. The character was beautiful and I favored how the decrease trials had been a bit more difficult than the higher trails. In complete we hiked about 6 miles. This park is one hundred pc donation funded and volunteer based mostly so take into account making a donation from their web site! I did! Additionally, no canine are allowed so Ellie has to remain house for this journey! Particular shout out to Michelle for a enjoyable journey!
There are path maps on-line and in addition on the trailhead.
