Giant City & Shawnee Wilds

A journey through the rugged landscapes and unique geological formations of Southern Illinois.


Route: Giant City State Park → Makanda → Garden of the Gods → Rim Rock → Carbondale

I'm heading out to 4324 Giant City Rd—the heart of Giant City State Park in Illinois. This is one of those spots where the midwest suddenly stops being flat and starts looking like a fantasy novel.
