“Dan Ryan Woods is a 257-acre forest preserve with playfields, a famous sledding hill, and a paved multi-use trail. The trail's elevation gain is 2 meters, and its total length is 1.6 kilometers. The trial is loop type, and the time taken to complete the total trial is 17 minutes. The trail is a place where you can find an extensive array of native plants, animals, and migratory birds. The large hill is perfect for a free place to workout. The park has features with many parking lots right off the woods. The primary attraction of the spot is the Cliff stairs. The woods have Oak and hickory trees, which offer habitat for great horned owls and birds, such as the eastern phoebe at the edges. The wood is the last remaining Blue Island, one of the highest points in Chicago. Visitors to Woods can explore nature and spend time with their families.”
