  • Delving deeper into the Shawnee National Forest, inside of the Little Grand Canyon area is a canyon that is off the beaten path. In this final installment of the Little Grand Canyon series, we saved the best canyon for last.
    Southern Illinois is full of natural beauty and danger, the forgotten canyon lives up to that expectation. Located south of Murphysboro and Carbondale, Illinois is a eroded sandstone environment, like no other in the state of Illinois.

    Thank you for this series on LGC. I was there in February with my family, we bushwhacked down the south side to the canyon just behind chalk bluff, then followed chalk bluff back to the main canyon/trail. You showed me all the stuff we missed. Now we have a reason to go back. 😁

      My pleasure! There is a lot of interesting places around the canyon. I’m glad it inspired you to come back.

    That place is money. If you continue up the left of the Y the canyon tapers into dirt-sides hills. If you follow the creek you will eventually be forced to go up a steep ravine. Once on top you’ll be back to the road/parking area. It’s like a big loop!

    Hi Gary, just found your channel as my wife and I are planning our first trip to the Shawnee! Love your creativity and explorations. I have a question on the Garden of the Gods Caves videos you did about 2 years back. Do you have an email address that I can reach you at?

      Thank You! I don't have one set-up for the channel, but could easily. If it is a question that is general, I could answer it here or preferably on the video in question, that way it might help others in the the future. Thanks!

      @@MarksofCuriosity Hi Gary, I went ahead and asked the question on the video in question (Garden of the Gods Caves | The Unexpected | Shawnee National Forest) a bit ago. Appreciate your help!

    I saw an old ladder leaning against a tree about middle way through the video what could it have been for? It didn't look like it was for a hunting stand. I like your videos but you zip through them so fast I can't really enjoy the scenery.

      The ladder ended up being a deer stand. Didn’t see it when I was there. About the faster pace this is what the audience retention rate in RUclips has “forced” me to take into account when editing. There are many places that could use some extra time, so possibly could be for another video or even another channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Do you ever find any evidence of native American people?

      I personally have not, except where there is already known archaeological sites, but that doesn’t stop me from continuing the search.
