ABOUT ILLINOIS: Giant City State Park

While many think of Illinois as flat farmland, we travel to the hilly, rocky and forested landscape of Southern Illinois. Here, Giant City State Park offers visiters great vistas, a beautiful lodge and magnificent hiking trails. We see its beauty through the eyes of photographer, Ed Martin.

Bill Woehl How?

[@billwoehl3051]

@@IllinoisChannelTV yes, how. Why, maybe a better choice? Why is it called Giant City?

[@IllinoisChannelTV]

@@billwoehl3051 According to the IL Dept of Tourism, Giant City " is named for its natural landscape of giant sandstone bluffs and narrow corridors framed by sheer cliff faces. Early explorers thought these looked like the narrow, winding streets of a giant city"
