This is Midewin

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie

 Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie is in Wilmington, IL and is one hour from Chicago. Its a wonderful place to hike and if you are lucky enough you will be able to see bison grazing.

Before becoming a National Tallgrass Prairie, Midewin was the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant. As you hike around you can still see and tour some of the bunkers left behind.

We were able to see bison way off in the distance, maybe next time they will be closer.
The visitor center has cameras out in the field to track the bison so if you really want to see them, ask at the desk where the best place to hike is.There are several trails.

We did a lot of walking and I do recommend you wear appropriate shoes, I came home with blisters on my feet. I probably should'nt have worn new boots.😂
