John and I took a trip to Giant City State Park on June 16, 2009. It is located in Makanda, IL and in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest. Giant City State Park offers many different recreational activities such as camping, hiking, rapelling, fishing, and even horse back riding. It is the home of the “Giant City Streets” formed 12,000 years ago by huge bluffs of sandstone. There is even evidence that Giant City State Park was even inhabitated by humans over 10,000 years ago. Their stone shelter bluffs are worn into the sides of the cliffs and the ceilings are still black from the smoke of their fires. Giant City State Park is a natural treat for everyone who visits.
From the Wham Building to Giant City State Park is 12 miles. John has traveled a total of 24 miles this semester.
