Hiking Archers Fork trail in Southern Ohio. Hike details are on alltrails link but highlights are: 14 Miles, 2025 feet elevation gain, 7 hours. Rated hard for distance and hills. Small Natural rock bridge and a cave on trail. One stream crossing that should be low. Beautiful rock outcroppings and the leaves should be close to peak. Trail is rocky and with leaves on it can make for an ankle twister.
