Illinois Prairie Path - Photos 4

Elgin Branch (from the Fox River Trail) to the Geneva Spur and back to Geneva
(Click on any of the bike trail photos to enlarge)

This is just before the railroad tracks and a little bit of a rugged hill... There are signs that route you around the hill, but it is really not all that bad... (in my opinion).

Here's where you cross the tracks (we are still on the IPP Elgin branch)

...and here's the hill with some wooden steps and a small path around the steps... You really do need to be careful when coming from the other direction (which would be coming downhill towards the steps here).

Here's where the path forks just before the steps, facing the other direction now...

As you can see here... The path has some bike-path-speed-bumps (the wooden railroad ties) as you approach the steps and railroad tracks...

A typical view of your basic recumbent rider...

It is pretty wooded and fairly shady here...
