Is this waterfall along the new Dutchman reroute of the R2R?

Lovely scenery man! Forest looks and feels so enjoyable and peaceful!

those rocks are really a wonder... and then the trees growing on the sides of the bluffage....😵‍💫🤗! 😮 i live in illinois, near st louis, and the same yellow creatures with red eyes live here! and they seemnso intelligent, they look right at you!

I've noticed the minimal narration recently. On some videos it can probably be effective, like waterfalls or wildlife, but I really think on the regular hikes I prefer hearing you describe the surroundings. Just my two cents worth.

Oh my goodness! I’ve been there, after I saw another video of yours there. But I THOUGHT IT WAS SO SCARY to climb! I did it though.

The way I'm feeling today, I kinda wish I were that turtle and had me a nice crevice in the rock where I could pull my head and legs in and shut my shell up tight and wait for a few years to come out and see if the forest was still there.

You might tell us where it is. That would be nice.

Shawn (& Michelle…I heard your giggle) … 7:05 Thank you for memorializing this spectacular 🌲🌳🌲site & 💦 waterfall. 👌❣️. There is Sonething about the rocks/bluffs in the Shawnee that Always Delights and excites me. 🎉

yes…stumbled around there once after s winery tour lol

Beautiful ambience my friend, this looks and sounds so enjoyable!

This is adjacent to Kidd lake marsh? I believe it's the northernmost point in Illinois with cottonmouths

My one visit (so far) to Jackson Falls was similar - wet, peaceful, & awe-inspiring

I wish I could say I would have liked to have been there on that day, but I can't. It looks very rainy and slippery and kinda miserable, but I know you gotta get out to spots like that in those conditions to really see the falls in their full glory. Right now, though, I'm glad you braved the elements and got video of it all so that I can sit here in the comfort of my home and enjoy it all while I drink a cup of coffee ☕ and listen to the rain 🌧️ pattering outside. Thanks for making that possible.😊

Climbing on wet rocks and crossing wet bridges in the rain. That's either dedication or a deathwish. 😂

Can't bring your backpack.

That's awesome, where and when

Great shot. Did you get some stills that you could share?

That is a bad boy ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

I really love the top of this area. I've never smelled air as fresh as the air in One Horse Gap. It’s just so beautiful in every way!

Last year, I hiked this whole part at night with my buddy Joe while we were thru-hiking from west to east. We did it at night to catch up on some miles we missed the day before. This time, I’m really looking forward to hiking during the day so I can enjoy every bit of the trail. I really wanted to see that area with all the pine trees, but instead, I only saw the shapes of the trees under a sky full of stars. It was beautiful in its own way, but still... Thanks for sharing this part of the trail! It’s got me really excited for my hike.

I enjoy a good Parking lot

The intro makes me want to go dancin' in the flames with the weeknd. 🤣 🎶

Great info Shawn on trial, sites, those socks and the campground! Where did Belle Smith designation come from? Former landowner?

Why is it so dark? Need a morning walk to show beauty. Please retry.

Sweet .... We just saw that Yesterday.. went there ... Garden of the gods and Rim Rock ... It was a Beautiful time of year to be There ... Thanks for Another great Video

Where didn't you go to school, 'where I came in from' your English is hurting big time

A kewl t-shirt- "Alrighty Folks" with your Hiking with Shawn logo

I could live there forever ❤

Didn’t know you had a tube. Subscribed.

Then a timber company comes and cut it all down and plants pine trees timber companies have ruined so much land

I absolutely Love this area! It’s a bit different each season. I never get bored with Bell Smith Springs trails. ❤

I've got a silent hike posting up in November. Gotta mix it up every so often.

What month did you go here?

I was baptized here back in 1962….love this place ❤

Summer is great. We only have to wait 6 months for it to come again. Love your vids, Shawn

👌❣️🥰

I need to go back here this year! Lots of hunters in this area.

When you do the loop counterclockwise, there's a big rock that looks like a gorilla's head between the stream and the climbing wall… does that rock have a name to your knowledge?

Beautiful
