My family tree can be traced through the Land Between the Lakes and the Shawnee National Forest regions of West Kentucky and Southern Illinois. I have been obsessed with traveling the Nation's National and State Parks my entire life.
This was a highlight of a recent trip to SD. Between the trees, the bluffs, and the ocean it made for an amazing day hiking the trails.

Take the ferry ride from the marina in Page to boat Lake Powell for a couple hours, then watch on deck as the 50 foot vessel works it way through a small canyon to the dock attached to the monument. The monument was a moving experience. The remoteness, beauty, and small crowds made it one of the best stops on my Utah road trip.

I did the Lower Antelope and was glad I did. The hike in then stairway down to the bottom of the canyon added a little mystery to what I was getting ready to experience. I have never seen colors and natural artwork the way I did in this slot canyon. Pictures and stories do not do it justice. Everyone should do these tours at least once in their life.

This unique feature is easy to access and worth a few to experience something that only happens in a few places on earth.

As a pretty urban park you can expect large crowds and possibly shut down do to no parking.

The best way to see this waterfall is to park at the bridge and follow the ridge line to the falls. Beautiful river views on your way to the highlight.

A great place a half hour from lousiville to fly fish. It is stocked but similar to fishing in Tennessee.

Bring the whole family and enjoy this natural water park. Camping and other hiking is nearby. It’s a great place to cool off in the summer.

Spend an hour or a weekend climbing massive boulders and taking in the views of the ozarks.

The views from the lighthouse are awesome. The lighthouse itself is almost like a work of art.

A place at low tide where you can see the tide pools, but also hike along the bluff line through cracks and sea caves.

This park was a pleasant surprise and not too crowded compared to other parks in the region. Brilliant red rocks.

There are several parking areas at different levels of the falls for all skill levels.

Site of scenes from the live action Jungle Book from the 1990’s. It is amazing this place is not better known. My favorite waterfall in middle Tennessee.

This is a gem of Tennessee Parks, but careful if it rains or storms. People have gotten caught and died in this canyon. Not for small children.

When I went the stairs were still washed out to the base. Otherwise this is a fantastic hike regardless.

Come at sunset for incredible colors of Glen Canyon and the dam. Its a fairly easy trip to the overlook from the parking lot.

One of the highlights of the Shawnee National Forest. This trail is a must stop if you are in the area. Best time of year imo is during the fall and winter or after a rainstorm so seasonal waterfalls are in view.

Garden of the Gods was recently featured on the National Park series quarters. There is a good reason for it. It is possible the most scenic spot in Illinois.

This is a pretty area. When I went the visitor center was closed and it looked like the trail markers needed updating. Overall a nice area to kill time and exercise.

A great hike to kill time while waiting on a cave tour. Trail is well marked, some of it paved and it will lead to a spring that bubbles up from the cave itself.

If you get a permit from the Forest Service you can take a Jeep on Solider Pass Trail! Amazing.
