View Swallow
Cliff Level IV in a larger map |
Details:
Swallow Cliff Forest is on some of the steepest terrain in
our area. A high east-west ridge inter cut by steep-sided ravines
and reentrants runs the length of this map. Should you run up and
over the big ridge in front of you, or follow the meandering trail
around the reasonably flat valley? And how accurately can you follow
your compass once you get to the top of the broad, featureless plateau...?
Can you dependably continue 300 meters and hit the small side reentrant
where the control is located?
Come on out and join us in the fun! All regular courses will be
offered - white and yellow for beginners, orange for intermediate,
and red/ green for advanced.
Directions:
Driving: Take LaGrange Road-South from Stevenson
Expressway (I-55). Go south on LaGrange Road to Hwy 83. Go west
on Hwy 83 about 0.25 miles and turn left into the first forest preserve
entrance. Look for the orange and white orienteering signs.
Public Transportation: Take Pace bus #381 from
the 95th Street Terminal (in the middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway)
on the Red elevated line at 8:30 a.m. Get off the bus at Moraine
Valley Community College and walk west to La Grange Road. Follow
La Grange Road south across the Sag channel to Hwy 83. Take Hwy
83 west to the forest preserve entrance. On the return, ask someone
in the parking lot to drop you at MVCC where return buses depart
every 30 minutes all afternoon.
