Turkey Run

For Thanksgiving, we traveled down south to Sara's parents house in Indiana. The day after Thanksgiving we thought it would be good to work off some pie and keep with the Thanksgiving theme by going to Turkey Run State Park down by Marshall.

The first part of our adventure included crossing Sugar Creek on a suspension bridge.

This group of 'turkies' posed while Mom took the photo.

We soon found ourselves gazing at massive canopies of sandstone from the Mansfield formation. Apparently these canyons were carved from glacial meltwaters from the Pleistocene Epoch. Yes, I am a nerd.

A seemingly teetering rock outcrop.

We saw canyons galore as we kept travelling along the trails marked 'very rugged.' Obviously whoever rated this trail hasn't been to Arizona.

One of the most fun parts of the trail is walking through a canyon that is just as wide as the small creek that carved it. Moss on the rock added a touch of color.

The next section of trail required climbing down some ladders.

Once through the canyons, we looped back around to Sugar Creek. Jenn & Zac posed for a photo op.

Jenn & Zac decided the 'old' people also had to get thier photo taken.

Six of the seven of us being engineers, we had to make sure and get a pic of the suspension bridge as we headed out. Mom just shook her head :-)
