Research demonstrates that outdoor exercise, such as hiking, offers health and well-being benefits. Join us for a two-mile hike. We will do an out-and-back hike on the eastern 1 mile of The 606. This is a paved urban trail with a narrow rubber shoulder on which you can also walk. Please wear comfortable hiking or running shoes, bring a water bottle, and dress for the weather.
The Bloomingdale Trail, part of “The 606” park system, is a 3-mile, elevated rail trail on Chicago’s northwest side. Built on a former rail line, the trail sits 17 feet above four of the city’s neighborhoods.
