Author Lindsay Welbers will show you how to use the Metra, what kind of landscapes are accessible using transit, as well as some challenges using public transit to get into nature.
This presentation is suitable for both newcomers to public transit and hiking and those who are more experienced on both rails and trails. This program will include 5 places where you can get outside and enjoy nature right now.
