Hike/Snowshoe-Jon Duerr FP
About this event
Hike or snowshoe--
Snow covered trails/grass paths. Wear winter hiking boots. Snowshoeing is still possible. Poles are optional.
Enjoy 1 or 2hr+ options--Riverbend Trail to waterfall &/or "over the river and through the woods" to Tekakwitha. Fox River Trail toward S Elgin may be possible. We will have some wind protection from trees-but dress for breezy/sunny conditions. Temps may rise near freezing by noon. If we are lucky, we may see an eagle or bluebird (you may wish to bring binoculars.) Easy to moderate pace.
UPDATE 2.3.23 3pm-walking conditions good, snowshoeing fair, pkg lot clear, pit toilets open (cement bldg) by trolley lot
