Between the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at the southern tip
of Illinois is a "hidden" region that contradicts the state's
flatland image. With scenic hills, natural rock formations,
bluffs, ravines, streams, lakes, swamps and sloughs, Southern
Illinois has much to offer nature enthusiasts. Hiker and naturalist
Alan McPherson describes trails at 50 locations with public
access in Southern Illinois. From a simple walk to strenuous
hiking and from short distances to trails miles long, there
is something for everyone who appreciates the outdoors. Unwilling
to tell others to go where he has not gone himself, McPherson
has hiked all of the trails he describes. He has written similar
hiking books for Florida, Indiana and the
Ozarks.
