I love to find new nature preserves that are not too far from me with awesome geological formations. The Seven Pillars Nature Preserve hosts some interesting formations along the Mississenwa river near Peru Indiana. There is actually a 1.8-mile trail in the preserve as well that I did not do on this day. It was a beautiful Autumn day and the leaves looked spectacular and the river was flowing quickly. On this trip, I am also using my new Sony a6600 camera. I also used my GoPro Hero 8, and my DJI Spark to get the awesome flyover video. This nature preserve is not very big but it is great for families. They even have portable toilets and a fire ring. This area was inhabited by the Miami Indians and this nature preserve pays tribute to them as well.
