I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
We all love a view from the top — and a spectacular view is what you’ll get at the observation tower at Giant City State Park in Makanda, Illinois. Located close to the Giant City Lodge, climb just 123 stairs to the viewing platform of the Giant City State Park Observation Tower for an epic bird’s eye view of the park below.
Have you climbed up the steps of the Giant City State Park Observation Tower for panoramic views of the park below? If you have, please tell us about the experience in the comments. Visit the Illinois State Parks website to learn more about Giant City State Park and the observation tower.
If you find yourself in Hartford, Illinois, stop by the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower. Make your way to one of its three observation platforms for views of the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.
