Earth to Sky Botanic Walk

Join us for a free walk guided by Conservancy naturalists to learn about native and exotic plants.

This activity reoccurs the last Wednesday of every month. Meet at the Trailhead Visitor Center for a free shuttle ride at 9:15 a.m. to the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Gardens. Be sure to select a shuttle ticket when checking out.

The garden exploration portion of the tour takes place 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. with an optional hike from 10:30 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Participants receive free entry to the garden.

About the Tour and Hike:

Please dress in layers, bring water and wear sun protection. We will begin with a leisurely, guided walk through the garden. Participants who wish to continue are then invited to join a 2.9-mile hike with a 725-foot elevation gain. At the summit, you will be rewarded with stunning panoramic views, opportunities to observe diverse wildlife, and a peaceful natural setting. Please note that the hike includes limited shade and several steep sections. Reviewers recommend starting early and wearing sturdy, supportive footwear.
