Biking Cook County's Des Plaines River Trail

After days of being thwarted in my attempt to hike or bike beneath fall colors, I finally succeeded. I had to drive over to Wheeling and bike south on the Des Plaines Trail starting at Dam Number 1 Woods, but the predominantly maple forest that stretches along the river for miles was ablaze in yellow and gold...



Even the underbrush contributed to the spectacle...



Mission accomplished!
