O’Bannon Woods State Park - Indiana

 I hiked ~6 miles of semi-rugged southern Indiana trail during mid September. O'Bannon Woods State Park sits on the Ohio River just a few miles downstream from Louisville. The terrain is surprisingly rocky, and there are numerous sink holes and caves, several entrances which I believe I spotted. The hike occasionally made me feel as if I were back in northern California, and I swear I spotted black bear poop on the trail...which is not completely out of the question in this part of the state. Definitely a region I will be visiting again, plenty of trails to hike, rocks to scramble on, history to soak in, and possibly caves to explore. Map of the region can be found here.
