Backpacking the Shawnee, Part 1
Over a long weekend, we head down to southern Illinois to go backpacking in the Garden of the Gods Wilderness. We were prepared for the hiking, but we were not prepared for what the sun had to offer.
Illinois Iron Furnace | Shawnee National Forest
The furnace was used to smelt locally mined iron ore; the resulting iron pigs were transported to Elizabethtown, Illinois, where they were shipped elsewhere along the Ohio River. The U.S. Forest Service's Golconda Job Corps Center rebuilt the furnace in 1967 in order to preserve the structure. The reconstruction effort also converted the surrounding area into a picnic site and established a visitor information center narrating the history of the furnace and Illinois' iron industry.

Shawnee National Forest - Garden of the Gods
Shawnee National Forest is the home of Garden of the Gods in Southern Illinois. This video was shot in the Garden of the Gods Wilderness Area located next to the popular Observation Trail. This hike goes by Anvil Rock and ends at Noah's Ark. This is a great hike, but can be confusing because it lacks trail markers and there is also lots of user made paths.
