A beautiful place

My favorite, beautiful place in southern Illinois is Inspiration Point, which is located in the Shawnee National Forest. It is a very tall cliff that overlooks the flat land in the western part of Illinois. From the road, you can see a long cliff that stretches for miles, but within that cliff is one rock that is perfectly flat. The colors of the cliff are amazing. In addition, if you walk to the top, there is a path through the forest that is filled with trees, flowers, and small animals. Standing on top of the rock, you can see an incredible view, including swamps, trees, a bridge, and one road that leads away from the cliff. Also, the view of the sunset is the best in southern Illinois. While there are many great places in the Shawnee National Forest, this one is the most interesting and peaceful.
