The Little Grand Canyon!!!

Today we hiked down into southern Illinois' Little Grand Canyon. This wasn't one for the hiking guide we are working on, it was just for fun. A 3 mile loop trail that takes you down a nice long ridge until you hit a switchback, which leads into the canyon. The canyon was pretty cluttered with debris from the "in-land hurricane" that blew through last year, but still quite nice.

You can see the Big Muddy river behind Emily and Aspen.
