Trail at Starved Rock

I was in Utica, IL recently for a work funtion. If you've never been to Utica - and Starved Rock - you owe it to yourself to go. It's a georgeous area right on the Illinois River, one of the few non-flat spots in the state! 

If you go, make sure you punch Starved Rock Lodge into your GPS or mapping tool. You can park at the lodge, and there's a restaurant and hotel on site too. Behind the lodge is a set of steps that descends down to river level. You can then follow various trails either up Starved Rock itself or up to Lover's Leap (which provides a great view of Starved Rock) and Eagle Bluff.

Here's a few shots from my excursion (pardon the goofy borders, I was experimenting in LR):

These were all shot with my "little" Canon G10 in RAW mode.
