Amelia and I visited Garden of the Gods which is located within the Shawnee National Forest. We traveled by car but we also did a little hiking. We visited Garden of the Gods on April 11, 2009. Garden of the Gods is a wilderness area that is over 320 million years old and covers 3,300 acres of amazing old growth forest. The sediment rock and the fractured bedrock in the Garden of the Gods have created a variety of interesting rock formations that are representative of a number of different objects such as the famous camel. The Garden of the Gods has two main trails. The best known trail is the Observation trail and River-to-River trail. From the Wham building on SIU campus, it takes 40.27 miles to the Shawnee National Forest, which makes a round trip of 80.54 miles. Amelia traveled a total of 3069.91 miles this semester!
