What we’re about
In 2018, a group of hikers created the Chicago Outerbelt Trail that took existing trails in suburbs, The Forest Preserve, CIty of Chicago, and linked them together with neighborhood streets and sidewalks to create a 210 mile loop around our beautiful city.Paths are paved, crushed stone, and unpaved. This group will hike 5 - 7 miles each event at a 2.5 - 3 MPH pace as we make our way around the Outerbelt Trail. No week will be the same as we traverse forests, prairies, walk along rivers, Lake Michigan and see parts of our metropolitan area that most residents don't know exist

Note I will probably not be going to lunch as we will be the closest on the Outerbelt trail to the Illinois Holocaust Museum - I've wanted to go there for a while and check it out. If anyone wants to join me the cost is Adults: $18 · Seniors (65+): $12. June 1st is the last day before the museum is updated and sections will be temporarily closed. I might go to lunch after the museum.***
