Recognition in Backpacker Magazine
The
April 2004 issue of Backpacker Magazine commemorates the
fortieth anniversary of the Wilderness Act by showing 20
wilderness getaways across the Continental United States.
One of those shown was the Garden of the Gods with a
picture of Camel Rock. This may coincide with the
designation that was received earlier being that Garden
of the Gods is one of the most photogenic places in the
United States.
For those who will be seeing Southern Illinois for the first time, there are many surprises.
Beautiful Scenic overlooks, complex and vast wilderness opportunities, space, landmark historical
settings, a homeland to the rest of the state, all add up to a special quality and could be summarized
by saying this is a unique place. This perspective is not the interpretation of this generation but
has been regarded with the same feeling as previous generations, some of which have left their names upon
the land. It seems that once a person learns of this uniqueness, then a deep love develops.
We hope you will enjoy your visit and return to find how much the Trail has in store for you.
