A great area set aside for hikers and nature lovers. Never a bad time to visit this area in southwestern Ohio.

The Little Miami River cut through 40' of limestone to create the Clifton Gorge. Running between Clifton to an area below Yellow Springs, Ohio. A series of hiking trails connect the gorge with John Bryan State Park. The gorge once had a number of mills that harnessed the water power. One of the largest water powered mills is still in existence in tiny Clifton with it's population of 152.

Eastbound NS 376 power by NS 8100 the Nickel Plate Road, heritage unit rolls through the cornfields of Harmony Township between Springfield and Plattsburg, Ohio. The trackage was once the New York Central Railroad now the Norfolk Southern Dayton District.

Lavishly artistic!, I appreciated it.
