The gorge, a National Natural Landmark, offers hikers splendid views from the trail.

The John Bryan campground is nice but sells out fast. Another fantastic option is to stay at the Rustic Retreat in Xenia (a short drive away). The owners of the Rustic Retreat, which includes vintage Airstream campers and cozy guest rooms, are PACK PASS members and sponsors of the Wolf Pack running series. You can contact them directly at (937) 829-1829.
