What is the the hardest hiking/backpacking trails in illinois?

Author: Jeff Sherman  |  Category: Hiking

I just want to know really challenging trails. if there are a lot of hills and mountains awesome. if its dangerous even better. reason being i am in the Marines and just got orders to do recruiting duty and I am going to miss the hiking and the challenge. any help will be appreciative.

I hope that you are joking. The citizens of Illinois are known as "Flatlanders."

Shawnee National Forest is in southern Illinois.

If you want mountain adventure, then drive west twenty hours on I-80 to reach Colorado.
