The Grand Illinois Trail - Recommended Trips

You needn't accomplish a two-week round trip as your first experience with the Grand Illinois Trail (GIT). You can enjoy segments of the overall system one-at-a time on leisurely one or two-day trips. Openlands' top-ten list of Great GIT Trips represents a great set of experiences, each of which presents a distinctive, unique perspective on Illinois' varied landscapes, communities, and local histories. Each trip is on a well-defined trail route. Each trip avoids the disconnections to the overall GIT system which are still being pursued until the GIT can be considered complete.

So head on out and try a few of these Great GIT Trips each year... until you collect them all!
