As my first hiking trip in Illinois, Shawnee set the bar pretty high.
Have ya ever been to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado? Turns out, Illinois has it’s own version of the Garden too. It’s not nearly as big and hosts “The Devil’s Phallus”, but the views are spectacular. This was also the first time I’d been hiking in an area where hunting was allowed, during hunting season (apparently). I’ll admit that I was a little afraid of being mistaken for a deer.
I got lucky and got some fog for a little while, so of course I’m super happy with those shots. Some shots were taken with my phone, but I think they turned out alright.
