While Illinois is the second flattest state (Florida is the first); it’s not quite as flat as you might think. The rolling hills of Southern Illinois are home to Shawnee National Forest, which protrudes with towering rock formations at Garden of the Gods and huge sandstone bluffs at Giant City State Park. Bring your next outdoorsy vacation to unexpected levels by zipping through the trees on a canopy tour, toasting to good times on the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, staying in interesting accommodations and interacting with animals amongst natural beauty.
