Description
Enjoying a beautiful hike through Illinois Canyon in Starved Rock State Park, Illinois. This is part of an intricate canyon system, carved out of the massive sandstone bedrock that underlies much of the midwestern United States. As the last ice age was receding about 18 thousdand years ago massive floods washed down the Mississippi River basin toward the Gulf of Mexico, etching these lovely canyons southwest Chicago. The same flooding event carved out the formations we now see near the Wisconsin Dells and other areas along the southerly flowing river basins of the midwest.
