We meet at 10 am on the third Sunday of the month at the Lake Avenue/Wilmette trailhead access point. We return at noon. This is a DOG FRIENDLY / DOG ENCOURAGED trek (I prefer "trek" to "walk") with both - dogs & humans. It is healthy, low impact, eco-friendly and the dogs love it. No dog required - just a love, or at least a tolerance of dogs! haha. From our trailhead, we will trek north on the Green Bay Trail - it is clearly marked. We out-trek for one hour and then back-trek for one hour to our trailhead (Now you see why I prefer the word "trek"... to say we will "out-walk" and "back-walk" sounds sooo stooopid). The Green Bay RR Trail: From the south going north the Green Bay Trail is a forested, sometimes heavily, asphalt/gravel sided RR frontage with some gorgeous residential streets in the beginning and lots of well-groomed "hidden" parks. Tiger lily's are everywhere in the summer. Autumn colors can be fantastic. Winter is dark and deep. And spring... is always a tease! Regardless of the season, I suggest you wear a blaze orange hat if you have (or can get) one. As your fearless leader, I always do.

We meet at 10 am on the third Sunday of the month at below trailhead access point. Finding our trailhead/access point on the Green Bay RR Trail, is simple: We meet fifty-ish feet DIRECTLY south of the Wilmette Fire Station, 1304 Lake Avenue, Wilmette in the north-end of the Metra parking lot. To put it slightly differently, we Meetup at the s/e corner of Lake Avenue & Green Bay Road, Wilmette, Il. If our trailhead had its own address, it would be 1303 Lake Ave. Parking is FREE on weekends.
