JOIN US FOR A 2026 HEALING ADVENTURE!
Join local community member Emily for an awesome Chicago Hiking Meetup at Swallow Cliff Woods!
Saturday August 31st – 2:00pm
The group will plan on hiking half of the Sag Valley Yellow Trail Loop. It’s a moderate trail through the forest with a few creek crossings.
Make sure you bring sun protection, a water bottle, snacks, and wear comfortable hiking shoes. Afterwards, the group will plan on grabbing some ice cream nearby at Plush Horse.
Whether it’s your first time joining or you’ve been to a bunch of FD meetups, it’ll be a fun morning hanging out with local FD community members.
Feel free to invite along friends/family (18+) as anyone is welcome to attend Community Adventures!
