Summer Hike Series 8 - Teason's Woods near Swallow Cliff Stairs Palos Park

It's time for the eighth hike of the Summer Hiking Series happening on Sunday July 20th @ 10am

This time the location is in Palos Park, Illinois @ Teason's Woods

📍11175 104th Ave, Palos Hills, IL 60465

Teason's Woods is just under 1 mile from Swallow Cliff Stairs. The parking lot at the stairs becomes full quickly so, that is why we are meeting at Teason's Woods parking lot instead.

The trail we'll be hiking is called the Yellow trail. Mostly unpaved with hills.

We'll meet in the parking lot of Teason's Woods at 10am. Our hike will begin via the Yellow trail.

The plan is to hike the entire Yellow trail, which is an 8 mile long loop. About halfway through the yellow trail we'll take a sit-down break. Here, there will be an opportunity for those only hiking the 5 mile route to hop onto the Brown trail. After our break we will continue the rest of the hike towards McClaughrey Spring Woods.

Towards the end of the trail we will reach the Stairs where there is a bathroom and concessions building. The end of the trail will be back to the Teason's Woods parking lot. Then we'll celebrate and take a group photo! 📸

Last time we hiked here we completed the 8 miles quicker than expected! If people are interested in hiking more distance after the initial 8 miles, we can make our way back to the stairs, trek up the stairs, walk the brown trail, and back. TBD

Post hike is a mandatory trip to the Push Horse Palos Park ice cream shop! 😋🍦 (Just kidding it's optional)
