People get down on Illinois. And I get it. It’s a typical Midwest state and it’s mostly pretty flat. But...then there’s Starved Rock! Easily accessible to most of IL residents, Starved Rock is a great half-day for anyone looking for hiking, waterfalls, and views, views, views!

Quick tip: We enjoyed a quick trail mix snack at the bottom of the steep inclines. Gave the kiddos the energy they needed to make it to the top :)
