Description: Garden of the Gods, located in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois, is known for its stunning rock formations, sculpted by millions of years of erosion, creating unique shapes and scenic overlooks. The most famous feature, Camel Rock, along with other formations like Anvil Rock and Devil’s Smokestack, make it a popular spot for photography and hiking. The Observation Trail, a quarter-mile loop with natural stone steps, offers easy access to breathtaking views of the forest and surrounding landscape. This area is especially popular in autumn, when the vibrant fall colors enhance the dramatic rock formations, making it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers.
