Inscriptions at Raven Rock, Portsmouth, Ohio

Recorded Feb 28, 2007 @ 3pm. This little-known vantage point is high above the Ohio River valley just west of Portsmouth, Ohio. Route 52 is immediately below the hillside from which the video was taken. The uphill climb to the vantage point is long, difficult, arduous and not for the weak! Check out my other video showing the actual unoscured view of the valley from the same site!

I live about 2 minutes down the road from there... I've always wanted to go up there.

It starts out relatively easy, but the angle of ascent rises drastically as you go up in elevation! Go on a clear, sunny day, and don't forget to take a camera and pair of binocs!

WOW thanks for a wonderful gift! My boyfriend and I used to hike up Raven's Rock on weekends back in 1972. It was a killer hike even for teenagers. Just a beautiful view of fields, river and hills of KY, no schools were there. We did inscribe our names, but nothing like the really neat old ones. Haven't seen Raven Rock even from the road in years. Thanks for the memories!

The new Portsmouth West High School and Elementary School was opened in the 1998-1999 school year. I was in the first freshman class to attend and I graduated in 2002.
