Update on the Adopt a Trail. To date we have collected $5298.00. We are taking donations for an Interpretive Sign program on a stretch of trail near the Lodge. There will be 11 signs total, all with historical information. This trail is fairly flat and are hoping in the future it will be handicap accessible. If interested, call my office at 815-220-7386. Thank you for your help.

Entering Illinois Canyon, we have to cross the stream 3 times. Some chose to balance on the log, whereas others that wore taller boots just walked through the stream. |
The iconic tree near the end of Illinois Canyon is slowly getting lower. |
