Field Trip to Starved Rock State Park 7:45 am to 5:45 PM

The picturesque sandstone canyons and cliffs at this park can make you wonder, “This can’t be Illinois.” Besides the interesting geology it can also be a stopover place for migratory birds, so bring your binoculars. Some of the trails to the canyons are steep and narrow. A walking stick can be helpful. We will plan to eat lunch at the restaurant in the historic Starved Rock Lodge.

Carpool from Harbor Freight parking lot at 7:45 AM

Return time estimated at 5:45 PM

If enough interest is generated by a month before the trip date we will look into renting a van.
