My pictures don’t do justice because this place was a spontaneous trip for me and I am dying to go back! There were multiple trails, such an adventure and beyond beautiful in the Shawnee forest.

Visited mid March, the park was not busy at the time. The name speaks for itself, it was literally a walk between the giants. Very impressive, this is truly a gem of Shawnee National Forest! We enjoyed the sounds of nature( as it was very quiet, very few visitors closer to the evening). The Observation Tower does not only look like an art piece but also offers the vast views of the forest.
