Event details

Spring at Starved Rock is a moving target—in the best way. Follow a naturalist as you time it just right: rushing canyon waterfalls from recent rains, and the first wildflowers brightening the forest floor.

The pace is ideal for adventurous families who want context with their scenery. Bring traction-friendly shoes, water, and a camera; you’ll weave between canyons and overlooks with plenty of stops for stories and snapshots.
