The park was all ours and\u00c2\u00a0the weather was perfect. So all in all, I&#8217;d say it was a good trip. There&#8217;s not much reason to stay in Carbondale, so if you&#8217;re going down to see the park, check out the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/giantcitylodge.com\/\" title=\"Website\">Lodge and Cabins<\/a>. There&#8217;s a great walking trail around\u00c2\u00a0 the park, lots of shorter trails around key areas, and horse trails (and rentals). Great way to spend a fall weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery81.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery81.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery83.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery83.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery84.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery84.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery85.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery85.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery86.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery86.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"126\" src=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery82.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery87.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"126\" src=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery87.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery91.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"126\" src=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery91.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery93.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"126\" src=\"https:\/\/randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery93.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery92.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery92.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery94.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery94.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery97.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery97.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery99.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery99.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery100.jpg\" title=\"Giant City\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"96\" src=\"https:\/\/www.randomscenery.com\/images\/randomscenery100.jpg\" alt=\"Giant City\" height=\"126\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend we drove down to Carbondale to hit a book sale and check out Giant City State Park.
