State: Illinois
Beautiful Place? Cave-In-Rock
According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, few natural formations are as awe-inspiring or intriguing as this cave. The deep and dark cavities will immediately conjure up some images of adventure and mystery for you.
And that’s the case with Cave-In-Rock, which is in the southern part of the state.
It’s a heavily-wooded park that sits atop high bluffs overlooking the Ohio River, which was named for the 55-foot-wide cave carved out of the limestone rock by mother nature many millennia ago.
The park features the cave and hiking trails. But there are also many fishing and picnic opportunities as well.
None of these are in my state. I was looking forward to seeing 11 beautiful places I did not know were in my state. Maryland!
I’ve been at White Sands National Park 2 times. I’m from Illinois so driving on the roads through there, it was like driving after a big snow storm. The sand dunes are very high. We had snow saucers. We had to wax them up real good then we went down like we were on snow. Beautiful… God made!!!
I haven’t been to any of those beautiful places, but you can bet my wife and I are ready to go to some of them anytime now. Thanks so much for the education.
my state did not make the list . my city there is nothing to do here.
