I hadn't been to Rockwoods before Sunday but one of the first things that I noticed about the terrain was how much it reminded me of the Mark Twain Forest in the Ozarks. Way back when, a few times a year, Bill and I would go canoeing on the Eleven Point River, which runs through the Mark Twain, and/or hiking along the Big Piney Trail, which is also located in the Mark Twain. The Eleven Point is a beautiful, spring-fed, cold little river that everybody has to canoe at least once in their lifetime. In fact, a portion of the Eleven Point is designated a National Wild and Scenic Riverways System. But, I digress. Here are some photos from Rockwoods this weekend.

We live about 20 minutes away from Rockwoods Reservation, but I haven't been there for years. I don't know why; it's a great natural area.
Your pictures, as always, are beautiful.
Rockwoods is fantastic and usually not too crowded. As a city dweller I like being able to take my 3 year old here or to Babler State Park to enjoy the woods without having drive for hours. Where you able to go inside the larger caves?
