16 April: In a corner of the Shawnee National Forest, sandstone has been eroded into very scenic ledges, cliffs, alcoves, and boulders. This is a popular destination for hikers in this region consisting mainly of very flat farmland. First we hiked the very short Observation Trail loop, which features a number of fancifully named formations such as Camel Rock, Anvil Rock, and Mushroom Rock. There were many families enjoying Easter Sunday at this spectacular site. Then we hiked a somewhat longer loop trail to Indian Point, where we saw very few hikers. We did get caught in a brief rain shower on the shorter trail, but otherwise the rain held off until after we were done hiking for the afternoon.
Love this, I just love huge rocky areas.
