Calling all nature-loving, public transport enthusiasts! Ready to move through fall colors?
We’re hitting the Chicagoland trails to celebrate the second edition of Lindsay Welbers's Chicago Transit Hikes, newly released from University of Illinois Press. This guide to getting out in nature without a car is must-read for any city dweller itching to appreciate our undervalued Midwestern landscape in an easily accessible way.
Join us at New Book Joy for a three- or six-mile trail run or two-mile walk with Queer Outdoor Chicago Club on the North Branch Trail, followed by a Q&A, book sales, and signing with the author.
As this book higlights our wonderful getting out to nature without a car and our public transportation system, we encourage you to arrive by Metra, CTA, bike, etc.
No prior reading required. Copies of Chicago Transit Hikes will be available for purchase at the event.
