Starved Rock

The day after Indy I spent hiking at Starved Rock, one of my favorite places.

As always the first thing I remember about Starved Rock is stairs, stairs, and more stairs. Every hike involves a lot of going up and going down.

St. Louis canyon.



LaSalle canyon.

The view hiking up Tonti canyon. The bridge on the hike to Tonti is still out so you have to hike up one side of LaSalle and half way down the other side to get to Tonti.

The hike up Tonti is worth it when you get to the end of the canyon and find not one, but two beautiful waterfalls.







The view looking downstream from LaSalle falls.


I thought I would just slip these in, looking out the kitchen window a few days ago, our hummingbirds at back, at least one of them.


more Key West

  In addition to the sunset cruise we took a snorkeling and kayaking cruise. Of course it was took windy to snorkel but we did get to kayak....
