A day-trip to Starved Rock state park

What a great place to hike - several canyons cut into the rock along the Illinois River near Utica, IL. There's a nice campground as well.

(I don't know WHAT happened with these...)

 

Thanks all. It is still pretty green, but there's some hint of change. Matthiessen is great - we flipped a coin to decide which park to hike this time. Hopefully we'll get back that way for colors in the next few weeks. Keep us posted on the foliage progression out there

 

You didn't miss anything, there are only 3 pics to see. That is Peggy, adding interest to the setting. She's been very good about being in my pictures over the last 37 years. Now that she's got an iPhone I'm beginning to get a taste of my own medicine...
