Beautiful hike and spring!

This is such a beautiful part of Illinois!  You have the incredible Blackrock Indian monument, overlooking the Rock River. Then, there are quite a few stairs to get down to the trail from that point. You can also go around and there is an entrance from the campground, which would actually be a great access point if you had a bike or a wagon to get more water. Otherwise, a few gallons up the stairs isn’t too bad.
The water is delicious! I tested it at home and it had a TDS (total dissolved solids) measurement of 386, and the pH was about 6.8, which is great!  I’m starting to do a bit of simple water testing if you’re interested in following that, and other water truths and information on my IG & TikTok social media
