Last week, we kicked off Mappy Hour Chicago! If you couldn’t make it — here’s what you missed (and see you next time) #mappyhourchi 👏mappyhour.org/blog/2019/03/m…

.StarvedRockStatePark is one of IL's best parks to explore. But neighbor #MatthiessenStatePark boasts falls and greens like you've never seen.

.StarvedRockStatePark makes you feel as small as the city. Great escape from a concrete jungle, to a limestone cavern #exploreillinois #hikechi

Just outside Chi you'll find the Indiana Dunes. Little Calumet River is a great Mt. Baldy post-hike activity. goparks #FindYourPark

The waterfall in St. Louis Canyon is roaring! Visit us on Saturday & Sunday for #FallColors weekend! #StarvedRock

Two trails diverged in a yellow wood...where were we traveling by? 🍁

At the Field Museum for the Chicago Community Climate Forum — let’s keep Chicago green! #chicagoclimateforum #gogreenillinois

.@RyersonWoods is by far one of the most beautiful parks in the greater Chicago area. It wasn’t just the cold that made for a near-solo hike. But also the winding trails and impressive acreage. #chicagoparks #hikechicago

Chicago is great and all, but Door County is something special. My latest piece for Backpacker Magazine shares why: backpacker.com/trips/door-cou… #hikewisconsin
