The River-to-River Trail Society announces its second guided hike of the spring, 2018 hiking season, on Saturday, March 17, at Pine Hollow in Pope County, Illinois. The hike is free and open to the public. Meet at 10:00 a.m. at Parking Lot number 2 at the rear of Dixon Springs State Park, about eleven miles west of Golconda, Illinois. This is a hike of moderate difficulty, which will require up to a mile of off-trail hiking over rocky ground, and is intended for people in good physical condition who have done some walking over uneven terrain. Boots or sturdy shoes and hiking sticks are strongly recommended. Hikers should bring their own water and a snack. No dogs, please.
