- Comments Off on Indiana’s Destinations Let You Get Away from It All
Indiana means “the land of Indians.” And as far as inhabited land in North America, indigenous tribes have called this state home for thousands of years. Even as early settlers moved West, migration was rather horizontal, and folks from their respective parts of the Eastern US found the land of Indians to be the new place to call home, bringing a melting pot of Americana that lives and breathes to this day.

The nature lover has much to do on an Indiana vacation getaway. Spring flourishes with her lush bounty each year, and the destinations to hike, camp, climb, swim, fish, boat, kayak or canoe are in abundance. And Indiana is also home to the longest cave system in the United States. The [...]
