Sat Jan 4, Starved Rock Winter Hike   10:45 am Join us for a hike through the St Peter Sandstone Formations and waterfalls of Starved Rock Park.  Our naturalist guide will lead the hike and share information about the area, history, the canyons, river and more. Depending on conditions, we could see the beauty of the frozen waterfalls and snow drenched woodlands. This year our hike will proceed on the St Louis canyon trail. This happens to be one of the most favorite hikes in the park and entails about 3 miles of hiking round trip. 

 

We’ll meet at the Main Lodge desk at 10:45am. The hike begins at 11 am sharp and should finish up around 1-1.30pm, at which time we will break for lunch and a brew.  The hike fee is $20 for the guide  and includes: Starved Rock swag, some treats, and a coupon for coffee or hot cocoa from the café. Those interested can enjoy lunch and a brew after the hike, whether it be in the Backdoor Lounge or the Lodge restaurant. We only have reservations for 20 people, so come on out and enjoy the hike, or just the lunch.

 

If anybody wants to skip the hike and meet us for lunch, no problem!  Please let me know if interested in lunch only, and we’ll see you there. Make sure you are prepared for the hike and dress accordingly with good hiking shoes and layers. Secure your spot by calling the lodge (815 220-7386) and paying the $20 fee. The group is reserved under Piccadilly Ski Club. Please email me so I know to expect you there (jfosullivan56@att.net).

 

Reservations are registered only when payment is made. So, if you have signed up on meetup make sure your payment has been registered at the Starved Rock Lodge phone number.  Let me know by email when you have paid. The first paid responders and sign-ups for lunch will be on the list.  Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!    jfosullivan56@att.net      -   John
