Clifton Gorge

Hidden by towering trees that have stood for more than 300 years, a three mile portion of the Little Miami River flows through a deep canyon near the tiny village of Clifton.  Sheltered by long-reaching lush green branches and cooled by the waters rush down the river, this canyon offers a welcome showcase for hundreds of plants and wildflowers, many which are rare in the region.  Once called one of the nation's 50 most beautiful places by National Geographic, the Clifton Gorge is a natural wonder steeped in history.
