    It's nice to see those soft colors of springtime on the trees. It looked like there were some Redbud trees around with their pink flowers. Nice shot of the Trilliums! Happy spring!

      We do have redbuds! Those and the dogwoods were beautiful! Lots of wildflowers! Thanks for watching!

    Watching this brings back so many memories, I am very familiar with all of these trails and have had some wonderful experiences at Giant City. I took a bunch of photos there back in 2015. I also recommend Fern Cliff and Cave In Rock.

      I bet your photography from there is fantastic, Frank! We will try to add those two suggestion to our list of parks!
      Thank you for stopping in and watching!

    Thanks for the look at the park. I enjoyed seeing the photo exhibit. The trails looked beautiful. Yours was a great breakfast to start the day before hitting the overlook.

    This is a beautiful park. I can see why it is so popular. The towering bluffs must have been very imposing in person. Thank you for sharing.

    Beautiful place guys! I like to see the green and other colors of spring finally coming back and we are starting to get that back in this part of NY now. It's been a long time coming but it's awesome to get back out in the woods and see the beauty of nature again. Thank you and take care guys

      Thanks again! This lodge is very popular for Weekend meals (fried chicken is a favorite). The Cinnamon rolls are a Easter Tradition...We had to figure that out in the Dutch oven over the camp fire.

    Traveled from northern Indiana for several vacations here. Lovely memories in such a beautiful place! Took a pic of my 10ish daughter "holding up" the giant overhang rock. Lol.

    Cool park! The trails and scenery are similar to the Village Park in Swansea MA. The rock features are awesome! Love the log cabin and it's rustic feel! Mmmm cinnamon rolls 😋 🍅

    Love the woods and rocks all mixed together, here you have to choose which area of Texas you want ,,, either hill country rocks or east Texas woods . That’s one reason I’ve always liked going to Arkansas is because of the rocky wooded areas.

    • @HappyTrailsHiking
      @HappyTrailsHiking  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a lot like Arkansas hiking. Thanks for watching, Robert!
