| Ice in St. Louis Canyon |
Today's Walker's Club left the Lodge's lobby and headed for St. Louis Canyon. Some came directly back to the Lodge, and some chose to walk through the picnic area and going into Aurora Canyon before ending the hike at the Lodge. 43 hikers today. Trails were still snowy and icy.
 |
| Joe was quizzing the group on the Illinois symbols. Nancy had a flat Stanley that made his way through the park today. |
 |
| The boardwalk going out on the West Bluff trail was icier than I had anticipated. |
 |
| The last half of the group coming down the stairs by "the orange rock" |

| The frozen stream formations on the way into St. Louis Canyon |
 |
| Not a full ice fall, But more than I thought there would be. |
 |
| We didn't stay long on this break, it was a bit chilly today. |

| A slippery narrow board is the way to get over the partially frozen stream. |
 |
| I was in the group that went over the entrance road and through the picnic area. |
 |
| The old road (now trail), soon to be the new road to the new bridge. They are clearing the trees out now. |

| Coming through the picnic area, love the Canadian Geese on the bathroom roof |

| Found this Skunk Cabbage flower (it is in the center and is maroonish in color) |
