Starved rock

Posted by on May 29, 2016

Yesterday I went to Starved rock state park with my mom and my brother.The drive was 2 hours long and I played on my Ipad along the way.We also went to subway along the way.Starved rock is really big.Some places are 5 miles out from the visitor center.It is called starved rock since a native american tribe went on the rock and starved themselves to death.There were lots of people and we had to spend 15 minutes finding parking.We first went to the visitor center to look at a big map and make a plan.Then we hiked up to starved rock.It is really high and is right next to the gigantic Illinois river.My brother took lots of pictures with his new 900 dollar camera.We then hiked back down to the visitor center.Then we went to Wildcat canyon.It is a giant canyon but is about a mile from the visitor center(one way)Then we went to french canyon.We also went to the really high eagle cliff which was very steep.We saw a big centipede.Me and my family then went to the boating center since I wanted to go boating really bad but the boating center was closed.Then I got ice cream and popcorn from the visitor center.Then we got in the car and drove five miles to Illionis canyon.We drove home late in the night.Starved rock state park was really beautiful.
