Join your hosts Marie and Sabrina for a special Saturday Scamper Field Trip to Palos Park to tackle the infamous Swallow Cliff Stairs! We’ll carpool from Skokie around 6:30am to arrive at the stairs around 7:15. We will park and meet at the Swallow Cliff Woods - North parking lot. From there, miles and miles of trails (hard packed dirt and gravel) await you, including a climb (or two!) up the infamous Swallow Cliff staircase. Please bring a snack or drink to share for a post run potluck, and we’ll also stop at local coffee shop Strange Brew for a coffee for the ride home. We should be back to Skokie around 11:00am. Check out the their website for more info about the area. Hope you can join us!
