We visited ☞ Matthiessen State Park and ☞ Starved Rock State Park in the past, but never in late Fall. This year it was a last minute decision based on weather – very sunny and warm for late October. Many people had the same weekend idea – both parks were packed with visitors. We stayed for two nights at Great Falls CG in ☞ Illini State Park only short drive away (very good campground where spots are always available). We walked 6-7 miles each day, bits and pieces of different trails. First in Vermillion and Dell areas of Matthiessen SP. The following day in Starved Rock SP: Illinois, Kaskasia and Ottava Canyons, River and Bluff trails between LaSalle, Lonetree and Wildcat Canyons. Fall colors were beautifull, weather was great and we expected crowds, so it was all good.
Wszystkie kolory jesieni!
A na dodatek slonecznie i cieplo jak w lecie. Troche malo ciemnej czerwieni
