"One of my favorite hikes and certainly the best so far in Illinois. So fascinating to hike a steep rocky wooded bluff above the Mississippi River floodplain, while underneath mining is still taking place. Also cool to see the former mine entrances and historic mining archaeology. As noted by others, it's unlikely you will find many hikes in Illinois with this much elevation gain, except for skyscrapers in Chi-Town. " — rick-brown • Aug 16, 2024
"Fun little hike in the Saint Louis area. Gains about 425’ in a mile which is pretty impressive for anything in Illinois. Downtown STL (22 miles away) can be seen from the Newman trail overlook." — tylerdelia • Oct 28, 2023
