As described, this book includes detailed descriptions of 107 hikes, from easy strolls through city parks to demanding treks in magnificent, remote portions of Illinois that will amaze those who may be somewhat unfamiliar with the natural beauties available within the state.

Most people don't think of Illinois when they think about hiking. Yes, much of the Illinois landscape is flat, boring agricultural fields--no evident opportunities for hiking. Luckily Illinois has Susan Post.
I like the easy to interpret Trail Finder table that gives at-a-glance information about the hikes featured in the book, but I most appreciate the detailed hike descriptions. What will I see? Are there interesting plants or birds? Where do I turn? What do I need to watch out for? The author has ... Read More
