Geauga Park District plans tour to Ansel's Cave

Mar. 23—Pre-registration has long been required to tour Geauga Park District's Ansel's Cave at The West Woods in Russell Township, but no longer — those interested can just show up at 1 p.m. April 7 and Naturalist Karie Wheaton will take them there

It will be a hike of two miles over hilly terrain to this otherwise-restricted area to discover its history written in rock, according to a news release. Attendees are asked to dress for the weather and wear sturdy foot gear for a stream crossing.

Awaiting your exploration are hundreds of historic signatures etched on the sandstone walls of this rock outcropping. The two-hour outing will start and finish at Turkey Ridge Shelter.
