Looking to take a trip late may or June and looking for some ideas on where to go.
I’m in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and looking to drive about 7-8 hours max in any direction for this trip since it is a shorter one.
I initially was thinking drive the 5 hours and spend the trip in Shawnee National forest. They don’t charge any fees for backcountry camping which is a bonus. But then started thinking that there is a pretty good amount of places I can go other than that.
I also considered voyager NP or boundary waters in MN but they are slightly farther than I would want to drive at 9 hours. I am still tossing this idea around though any one been to these?
Or any one from the northern Illinois southern Wisconsin area have suggestions on places that I haven’t mentioned. My main interest is better hiking areas and do some backcountry camping.
