Busse Woods Bike Trail - Photos 4
from the Elk Herd off of Arlington Heights Road
(click on any of the bike trail photos to enlarge)
The path goes aloung Route 53 here, but it is pretty mucn in the distance so it is
still nice in this direction. You can actually go under the expressway if you take the
path off to the right, but I don't think it goes anywhere interesting and pretty much just
puts you into a heavy traffic area. If you really wanted to try to make it to Woodfield,
you would go that way... (but I would wear a good helmet and body armor!
OK, back to the open fields...
Here's a guy flying a kite in the forest preserve. If you blow this photo up, you can
make out that he has some kind of wheeled device (like a large off the road skateboard)
that he was riding on and trying to get the kite to pull him... Interesting...
Here's where the path crosses some of the forest preserve entrances off of Golf Road
(Route 58).
There is a nice little slightly wooded area after the forest preserves...
This is comming out of the woods and into some major traffic and congested areas...
It's still nice on the path, and if you are doing something practical (like a utility
ride) you can get to restaurants and shopping this way...
