The Wave Rock:

Wind and rain have worked their magic, eroding lines that swoop and swirl across the sandstone formation. The result, which resembles a cresting wave, is one of the most photographed—if not easy to reach—spots in the American West. A permit is required to make the unmarked hike to the Wave, and only 20 are given out daily. It’s almost easier to make the journey to southwest Australia to see the Wave’s down under counterpart, Wave Rock.

                                          

Spotted Lake:

It looks almost as if you could play Twister on Spotted Lake near Osoyoos, less than a mile from the Washington State border. Each summer, most of the water in this mineral-rich lake evaporates, leaving behind large concentrations of salt, titanium, calcium, sulfates, and other minerals that form dot patterns in shades of green, yellow, and brown circles of varying size. You won’t actually be able to get up close to the lake, but you can get a good look from the nearby road.

The Wave Coyote Buttes:

Wind and rain have worked their magic, eroding lines that swoop and swirl across the sandstone formation. The result, a cresting wave, is one of the most photographed in the American West. It’s almost easier to make the journey to southwest Australia to see the Wave’s down under counterpart, Wave Rock.

Marble Cave:

Six thousand years of wave erosion created the undulating patterns that give these caves their marbleized effect, caused by the reflection of the blue and green water of Carrera Lake, near Chile’s border with Argentina.

                          

Waitomo Caves

The Waitomo Caves have been calling turists since the late 1800s after the subterranean network. Today, thousands of visitors each year come to Waitomo to marvel at the incredible limestone formations and luminescent glow worms hidden in its depths. The more adventurous can also try cave abseiling and rappelling, black water rafting or caving.

 

Ash Cave:

Located in the southern edge of Hocking County, Ash Cave can be reached by walking a handicap accessible trail that leads hikers  through a beautiful gorge.

Although the cave was named for the huge pile of ashes found by early settlers in the cave shelter, the source of the ashes is still a mystery.

 

Its waterfall only runs in the spring and is best seen early. April is probably the best time for a visit if you want to see the falls. In cold winters it freezes forming an ice column.
