Exploring Hell's Gate

One of the more interesting and creepy places to explore in Columbus is a series of underground tunnels that can be entered by way of an entrance called Hell's Gates (not sure where that name came from, but it definitely adds to the creepy factor). @aweber and I and a few others went to explore this area a while ago and had fun taking pictures and hiking around underground. I'm sure all kinds of interesting things have happened in those tunnels, but sadly we'll probably never know! There's a lot of interesting graffiti and artwork on the walls in the tunnel. It's definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the area and aren't creeped out by being underground in the dark.

Here are a few pictures from the day. Hope you enjoy!

This exit actually comes out to the Olentangy River, which was a fun surprise

That's all for now! Thanks for reading. Would you go in the tunnels if given the chance?
