The new full-color edition includes some brand-new hikes on newly built trails, such as Miller Beach, which not long ago was just a loop around a marsh but now includes an out-and-back trail to a lovely beach on Lake Michigan. A couple of urban hikes were added to the mix in this edition, including a stroll through the lagoons and along the prairie river in Humboldt Park, perhaps the most beautiful Chicago Park away from the lakeshore. Ted also takes you on a ramble along the newly built Chicago Riverwalk in the Loop, an artfully constructed promenade alongside the river with restaurants and bars along the way.   Each hike description features: Key information on length, hiking time, difficulty, configuration, scenery, traffic, trail surface, and accessibility Information on the history and natural history of the areas the hikes pass through A detailed trail map and elevation profile Clear directions to the trailhead and trailhead GPS data Tips on nearby activities  Whether you are a local looking for new places to explore, or a visitor in the area for business or pleasure, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Chicago will provide plenty of options for outings lasting a full day to a couple of hours, all within about an hour's drive of the Windy City and its surrounding communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCook County   1.\tDeer Grove Loop    2.\tCrabtree Nature Center Hike     3.\tChicago Botanic Garden Hike     4.\tDes Plaines River Trail: North Avenue to Chevalier Woods   5.\tHumboldt Park Lagoon and Prairie River    6.\tSouth Lakeshore Path    7.\tJackson Park Loop     8.\tPalos\/Sag Valley Forest Preserve: Cap Sauers and Swallow Cliff Loop     9.\tPalos\/Sag Valley Forest Preserve: Country Lane Loop    10.\tPalos\/Sag Valley Forest Preserve: Little Red Schoolhouse Hike     11.\tLake Katherine Trail        DuPage County and destinations west   12.\tTekakwitha–Fox River Hike     13.\tPratt’s Wayne Loop      14.\tBlackwell Forest Preserve Hike    15.\tDick Young Forest Preserve Hike   16.\tFullersburg Woods Forest Preserve Loop      17.\tDanada Forest Preserve Hike     18.\tMorton Arboretum East Hike     19.\tGreene Valley Forest Preserve Loop     20.\tWaterfall Glen Forest Preserve Loop     21.\tSilver Springs State Park Loop     22.\tShabbona Lake State Park Loop        North Chicagoland and Wisconsin   23.\tBong State Recreation Area Loop     24.\tGeneva Lake: North Shore Hike     25.\tBristol Woods Hike     26.\tChain O’ Lakes State Park Hike    27.\tGlacial Park Loop     28.\tAdeline Jay Geo-Karis Illinois Beach State Park: Dead River Loop     29.\tVolo Bog State Natural Area Hike     30.\tMoraine Hills State Park Hike     31.\tDes Plaines River Trail: Old School to Independence Grove     32.\tMarengo Ridge Hike     33.\tLakewood Forest Preserve Loop     34.\tVeteran Acres–Sterne’s Woods Hike     35.\tRyerson Woods Hike     36.\tFort Sheridan Forest Preserve Hike      Northwest Indiana and Environs   37.\tWarren Dunes State Park Loop     38.\tIndiana Dunes: Dune Ridge Loop      39.\tIndiana Dunes: Glenwood Dunes Hike     40.\tIndiana Dunes: Miller Woods Trail    41.\tIndiana Dunes: Cowles Bog Trail      42.\tIndiana Dunes: West Beach Loop     43.\tIndiana Dunes: Bailly\/Chellberg Hike     44.\tOak Ridge Prairie Loop   45.\tDeep River Hike     46.\tGrand Kankakee Marsh County Park Hike      47.\tLaSalle Fish and Wildlife Area Loop        South Chicagoland and the Illinois River Valley   48.\tPilcher Park Loop     49.\tJoliet Iron Works Hike    50.\tThorn Creek Hike     51.\tGoodenow Grove Hike     52.\tI\u0026amp;M Canal Trail\/McKinley Woods Hike     53.\tGoose Lake Prairie State Natural Area Loop   54.\tMidewin National Tallgrass Prairie Hike     55.\tBuffalo Rock State Park Hike     56.\tStarved Rock State Park: East Hike     57.\tStarved Rock State Park: West Hike     58.\tMatthiessen State Park Dells Area Hike     59.\tKankakee River State Park Hike     60.\tIroquois County State Wildlife Area Hike","brand":"Menasha Ridge Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359828476247,"sku":"9781634041607","price":38.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781634041607.jpg?v=1754125834","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/60-hikes-within-60-miles-chicago-including-wisconsin-and-northwest-indiana-9781634041607","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
