Matthiessen State Park, Illinois

The Dells Canyon and Bluff is one of the 5 Miles of trails in the whole of Matthiessen State Park, it’s a small gorge in Illinois with two waterfalls. The Dells trial itself is only about 2 miles in total but it makes a figure eight so you don’t have to hike it all in one go. Dells Canyon and Bluff Distance: 2 Miles Pets: Yes, on leash. The lower falls in summer can create a corkscrew cascade and I’m told it’s amazing. I wasn’t…

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is the only national park in the state. It’s a unique experience. Many privately owned homes and properties are peppered throughout the area. However, the train came first and the town was built up around it. When the area was designated a national park in 2000, so when the national park declared boundaries it had to work around the privately own land and buildings giving it a strange structure. The best way to experience the park is to take a train tour. It also has over 125 miles of hiking trails. Directions Address:6947 Riverview RoadPeninsula, OH 44264(41° 15’45.3″ N) (81°…

The First Thing About The Grand Canyon
What You Need To Know The biggest, possibly critical, detail missed by people before they plan a trip to the Grand Canyon. You can’t see and do it all in one day. If you want to brave the Skywalk in GC West and take a selfie at Horseshoe Bend you’ll need to make the 5 1/2 hour drive to get from one end of the park to the other. Not exactly a day trip. Attractions The top three attractions that bring people to the grand canyon are the South Rim, Horseshoe Bend, and the Skywalk. But did you know you can’t visit all three in one day. They’re hours apart…
