| I got this photo of the Sunrise this morning and knew it was going to be a Great Day!! So far so good! |
 |
| 35 walkers today. We left the lodge's lobby and went to LaSalle Canyon via the River Trail. Took a stop at Lover's Leap and Eagle's Cliff. Also went to Tonti Canyon. Photo also shows the new paint on the road in front of the Lodge. |
 |
| Early on the hike we found this down log with some character. Great resting place. |
 |
| Great view of Devil's Nose on the way to Lover's Leap |
 |
| Took some time for a group photo on Lover's Leap |
 |
| View of the Dam |
 |
| Pelicans are still hanging around. They are just passing through, on their way south for the winter. |
 |
| View of Starved Rock State Park looking East from Eagle's Cliff. Lots of color to change yet. |
 |
| One of my reliable snakes in the "Snake tree" |
 |
| View of the Illinois River, little bit of fall colors sprinkled in. |

| I managed to work myself to the back of the pack. LaSalle Canyon. Not a drop. |
 |

 |
| Don is contemplating something in Tonti Canyon????? |
 |
| Looking up in Tonti Canyon. That's where all the colors are. |
 |
| I think this is Winterberry Holly. Kind of makes you think of Christmas time. Just kind of. |

| Doll's Eyes |
 |
| This is a Burl in a tree near Lone tree canyon. |

| A few mushrooms on the way back to the Lodge. |
 |
| Last stairway before we got back to the Lodge. |

| New Kiosk by the trailhead at the Lodge. It will eventually have information about the park. There is also one located between the Visitor Center / Steps to the Lodge / and steps to Starved Rock. (When we left on our hike at 9:00a.m. the only thing here was a concrete slab.) |
