    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!

    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!

      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.

    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

    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.

    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

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