Destination: Starved Rock State Park / Ottawa Canyon
Normally when it is cold out I just want to cuddle with my honey. But this year's record of consistent subzero temps had me yearning to get outdoors! This was our first time ever really hiking a state park during the winter months and boy were we in for a treat! FROZEN WATERFALLS!!! Have you ever seen such beautiful ice sculptures? There was even a group of ice climbers who were ascending the falls. We spoke with them for a bit and they told us it would be wise to invest in some Yaktraxs to help add traction to our footing as we tried to navigate the icy paths. After seeing how compact the paths became with previous hikers it was clear they were slick as snot and added traction would truly be welcomed!
I highly recommend getting outdoors to view such masterpieces...just watch your step!
