national park

Despite their relatively industrial setting and proximity to Chicago, the dunes have a level of biodiversity that rivals even the state of Hawaii. Any bird watcher, hiker, swimmer or general nature lover should put this park on their to-see list!

Joshua Tree National Park has always been breathtaking. It’s a stark desert landscape that looks like another world. Piles of boulders and mountains with large exposed rocks dot the impressive expanse.

Grab a bag of French Onion Sun Chips and a six-pack of Blue Moons to wash them down this weekend, because for a few minutes today, the sun will finally take a break from searing our eyes.
