Hiking around in the round

Midewin Tallgrass Prairie

Midewin Tallgrass Prairie, IL

Its hard to over-state the significance of this restoration prairie with bison. A Potowatomi word referring to tribal healers, this stretch of land was once a military arsenal. We wanted to see the old ammunition bunkers. These are located on the north-east side of the park which is not the normal tourist area. The day was hot and the trail was mostly miles long roads – but totally worth it.

We are hiking through the old Joliet Arsenal area today. There is a herd of Bison on the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie but they are down near the Visitor Center along the more popular trail.

Most of our videos are filmed in a full 360 arc, this means you should be able to use your device to move the video around and up and down. If you are having issues or if you are watching with VR goggles, click over and watch our Hike360vr playlist directly on YouTube.

It was a hot and humid day and Turtle Pond was the only still water we found.
Beautiful Prairie area makes for a nice break. Stop the video and scan around at the plants, its pretty impressive.
Occasionally we learn something and occasionally karma is on our side.
It was a hot and humid day, never underestimate the power of the sun.
