Garden of the Gods park in southern Illinois....went there quite a bit in college the outcroppings of rock cliffs make for some spectacular views. It was a great escape from the Design studio at school.

Since everyone keeps mentioning places in Shawnee I guess I'll throw in with Jackson Falls. Its beautiful and has some great rock climbing.

Fall Creek, South of Quincy is a neat place to do a short hike and picnic.
