Winter is an interesting time to hike on The Ridges. You notice things that aren’t so apparent in the profusion of green in the summer, like moss, the vertical patterns made by trees in the forest, the texture of the Shag Bark Hickory and the spear-like thorns of the Honey Locust.
NAMI has prepared a Visitors’ Guide to the Cemeteries and The Ridges Cemeteries Nature Walk, available in brochure form at the beginning and end of the nature walk and also here:
