Getting There: The Burnham Wildlife Corridor spans the lakefront just south of McCormick Place. We will be meeting here: https://goo.gl/maps/vx9uRMywDJu7fgWA8 and navigate to the Caracol - gathering space together. The metra electic line McCormick Place stop is about .8 miles away and the CTA Bus #3 and #21 run to the McCormick Place bus stop which is about 1 mile away from the meetup location. Remember you can navigate through the McCormick Place building to get to the other side, bikes as well. For directions using public transportation visit www.transitchicago.com. There is paid parking located along lake shore drive from the meetup location south to 31st street. You may bike to the meetup location easily using the lakefont trail. There are posts throughout the park to lock a bike.
Accessibility & Terrain: The terrain is a mix of paved and a mulched path all relatively flat, some rocks or plant debris is expected. Particpants will be able to manage how much sitting or walking they would like to do once we reach Caracol. No bathrooms available. There will be pretty loud traffic noise with Lake Shore Drive only a few hundred feet away.
Dress: Please dress in comfortable weather appropriate clothing and layers, the lakefront is often colder and windier. April can be rainy so please bear this in mind with your choice of footwear.
