Giant City State Park

The park has big rocks, streams, trails and trees. Here's one of the streams. That stick-looking thing on the left I hadn't even noticed when I was taking the picture, but it looks a bit too lizard-like to have been a stick.

More stream.

Still more stream. Wall too.

This trail leads to a "stone fort" - a nearly 300 foot wall of piled stones built before 900AD. Bluffs are on three sides and this wall closes off the fourth.

Another trail climbs up along a stream.

Lots of moss here.

Closeup it looks like yarn.

An injured butterfly was at one of the parking areas.

Alcohol is forbidden in the park all the time. Its also forbidden in the winter.

Another stream.

Odd rock on the bluff.

Another trail follows the bluffs. It looks like people may have made campfires here.

The bluffs have holes in them.

We went as far as here on that trail.

Jill and water.

DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING OR YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED!!! That rock you just stepped on? Okay, you're coming with me, buddy...

More rocks.

Rays of sunlight are cool.

Yet more rocks.

A little town is just outside the park. Here's one of its roads.

Up a hill is its cemetery with a tower in it.

The hill to get to it is steep. This is a warning.

This was being built? Fixed? Demolished? Along the road.
