Starved Rock State Park

If you hike this park, get used to stairs, lots and lots of stairs. Everywhere you want to go involves hiking up or down the bluff.

Most of the riverbeds looked like this, dry with just a trickle of water. The thunderstorms every afternoon helped but I look forward to coming back during the spring when all the canyons have waterfalls.

The park is on the south bank of the Illinois River. This is Eagle Cliff Overlook.

In addition to all there stairs, there are lots of boardwalks and bridges. It does make it nice to hike around and avoid the mud.
