Garden of the Gods is one of Southern Illinois most popular attractions.  Some fundamentalist Christians refer to this place as God's Garden, apparently they don't want to give any credit to any god but theirs.  Anyway if you go you'll see  people there walking, camping and exploring nearly any time of year, but you'll probably face the biggest crowds in Fall when the leaves are at peak colors..  The main attraction is a short observation trail that offers some spectacular views of rock formations.  There is also backpacker trails for primitive camping as well as an excellently maintained campsite.  D

 

 
 

Rocks
 

When you go to Garden of the Gods be prepared to see lots of rocks.

 
 
 
 

Camel Rock
 

The most well known rock formation in the park, camel rock, which fits in real well since this is Little Egypt.

 
 
 
 

Chimney Rock
 

Reminds me of mary Poppins

 
 
 
 

More Rocks
 

We have a monopoly on rocks and trees. These are a bit more enteresting then most

 
 
 
 

Natures Ashtray
 

The Gods understand some people need to smoke so they supplied ash trays for your visit.

 
 
 
 

Gnarly Tree
 

This tree has scrounged out a rough living on the side of a rock

 
 
 
 

Rock Kids
 

These kids thought I was some sort of Buhhdist photographer.

 
 
 
 

Sunset
 

Cliff faces west so you sometimes see spectacular sunsets, this one isn't quite spectacular, lets just call it lovely.
