This is in the same canyon looking to the left of the last picture. This is the way out (should you ever suddenly find yourself there and need to know how to escape).
Lovely fall leaves.
A log cabin at the park with nice stone chimney.
This is looking towads the falls. You can see the bridge you have to walk over to follow the top of the canyon to where you pick up the multitude of stairs to get down into the canyon.
The fall. To the left is a huge cave which you can climb in and around.
Another view into the canyon from the path you take to get there.
This is a side canyon within the main canyon.
You can see rust, among other things, seeping through with water at the base of the rocks that make up this canyon.
Trippy curvy barkless tree - cool!
Melinda, it's a pregnant tree!
Some really sweet looking moss - it looked like micro palm trees!
This is at Starved Rock and is park of the upper part of that canyon system.
Beautiful fall trees in the forest.
An overhang above a canyon with some cool looking cypress trees - I love cypress trees!
Leaves so big you can wear them like a hat!!! Here our model Johnnie displays the largest we found.
One of a bazillion stair cases along trails and whatnot. It was quite a workout!
