Did you know there are MOUNTAINS in Chicagoland??
Well, it's a grass-covered, 190-foot mountain of old trash...
but in this prairie, it feels like a mountain nonetheless.
On a clear day, you can see all the way to downtown Chicago...
that's over a 30-mile view.
Go check out the Scenic Overlook, at the Greene Valley Forest Preserve.
Do it quick - it's only open on the weekends, May through October, from 11am-6pm.
(Just off 75th Street, south on Greene Road.)
It's a little windy up there,
but there are lots of walking trails and picnic tables... it's pretty cool!
