I stayed up late last night talking with WGN Radio host Nick Digilio about Chicago Transit Hikes. There’s so much beauty, and such a diverse landscape, in the land immediately around (and sometimes inside of) the city itself. I spoke with Nick about the book, some of the best hikes you can find around Chicago, backpacking mishaps that led to new friendships, how to get comfortable outdoors if you’re just starting out and a whole bunch of other stuff.
