Illinois: Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods, in southern Illinois, is a 3,300-acre national recreation area in Shawnee National Forest. View towering rock outcroppings just south of where great ice sheets smoothed the prairies millions of years ago. Hike along 5.5 miles of trails; an easy flagstone Observation Trail takes you to a spectacular overlook.
