ポープ郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

I made this the last climb of the day. The stone staircase

At the heart of Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls are a beautiful site for nature lovers. The falls and sandstone cliffs can be reached via a short hike through the forest, where wildlife sightings and mushroom foraging (when in season) are popular attractions. Camping is permitted with a 14-day limit but note that the area can become crowded in the Spring and Autumn.

The Mill Branch Cascades are a spectacular sight to see! Flowing through a massive canyon, these waterfalls are truly unique and can be reached via a short and relatively flat hike.

From this bouldery viewpoint, you can enjoy a stunning view over Garden of the Gods Wilderness and the expansive Shawnee National Forest. An incredibly peaceful spot, it's the perfect place for a break or picnic before heading back.

This staircase was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Depression era and provides access to the yellow and blue trails. Have caution during wet or freezing conditions as the stairs can be slick.

This beautiful rock bridge is said to be the largest in the Shawnee National Forest and will have a waterfall flowing through it in the wet seasons. If you're a fan of interesting rock formations, this is one to see.

One of the many rock formations in the Garden. Easily the most popular and most photographed.
