At 10 am, we will meet at the Fort Sheridan Main Tower, 210 Leonard Wood South, Highland Park, IL 60035 and walk across the parade ground, an historic landmark, to the Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve. Then we’ll hike the birding loop (1.7 miles), which showcases views of Lake Michigan, prairies, ravines, bluffs and a military cemetery, as well as the 1-mile Hutchinson Trail.  In the afternoon, we will hike the Openlands Lakeshore Preserve area.
