Fall comes to life at Starved Rock

UTICA, Ill. — Remember those 80-degree-days in March? And how the spring flowers were out a month early? Well, it’s no wonder that fall colors are bursting at Starved Rock State Park.

The rich green hues of summer are changing into golden hues of autumn. Sunny days, cool nights and recent rain have brought about the saturation of those vivid colors, so photo opportunities are abundant.
