Giant City
The other day I went to Giant City Park with some friends for the first time since I have been down here. We walked down some trails and went off some trails too. We climbed rocks and eventually made it to the top where we were several hundred feet off the ground. It was actually really cool. I had never really done that kind of stuff, to that extent anyways. It took us forever to find a way down though. We did not want to have to turn back to get down because we would be walking for a long time. We finally found some huge boulders that we were able to work our way down. Giant City is a great place to hang out and do whatever though.

giant city is sooo pretty!! i love it there. i have been there so many times this year. its fun at night to drive around too. if you are heading towards giant city and once you get by that little hippy store and ice cream store in makanda right in front of the train tracks, there is a road that has a really steep incline and if you drive up there once you get to the top theres a creepy cemetery and and unlit road. its fun to drive around at night cuz its kinda freaky. Also, you should go to spillways!! its even better than giant city!! you can climb by waterfalls and walk through them. its soo fun, just make sure you go on a hot day and are prepared to get your feet wet.
ReplyDeleteYea I went to Giant City just last weekend actually it was awesome. Walking the trails are fun but going off the trails and looking around is even more fun. The best thing about it is you can just free climb up like 30 or 40 feet i had a great time doing that.
ReplyDeleteI love driving in the country with my friends out here its amazing. It looks nothing like Illinois should look. I went to the spillway 3 or 4 times in the last week and each day the waterfall slowed. I had never seen it move so quickly before. You should check out Bellsmith Springs I think its called you can jump off cliffs into water its pretty sweet.
