Garden of the Gods is definitely the crown jewel of the Shawnee National Forest down in Southern Illinois. The trail only took about 45 minutes and was paved most of the way. the fall colors made it even better! #shawneenationalforest #gardenofthegods #fallfoliage #southernillinois #fallcolors

Think Illinois is all cornfields? Think again. One of the most unique outdoor experiences in the Midwest — flying through the treetops of Shawnee National Forest! 📍 Location: Near Makanda, Illinois (minutes from Giant City State Park) ⏰ Duration: ~3 hours (guided + beginner-friendly) 💸 Cost: $98 per person — includes digital photo downloads 🌲 What’s Included:  • 8 zip lines  • 3 suspension bridges  • 3 short hikes through scenic forest trails  • Bluff-top views that will change how you see Illinois 🍁 Best Time to Visit: Fall — the canopy colors are unreal 🍷 Nearby: Blue Sky Vineyard, Makanda Boardwalk, Giant City Lodge 🧭 Pro Tip: Book early, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring your sense of adventure! Because yes — Illinois has zip lines, bluffs, and heart-racing forest views too 💚 #ShawneeBluffs #MidwestAdventures #TravelIllinois #ExploreMidwest #ShawneeNationalForest
