After two sold-out motor coach tours around the Ice Age features of Northern Kane County, we are headed south! Curated with the support of experts Dr. Brandon Curry and Volunteer Steward Mary Ochsenschlager, the tour features geologic wonders like Johnson’s Mound and the Kaneville Esker. We will stop at the Holcim gravel operation south of Elburn to explore the extensive aggregate mining that derives from Kane County’s glacial drift. We’ll learn more about Ice Age megafauna with Brian and Joyce Ostberg of the #Behistoric YouTube channel. And, we’ll experience the marvels of glacial remnants like Nelson Lake, Prairie Kame, the Elburn Complex, and more! Lunch will be provided on this 5-hour luxury motor coach tour. Nature will be providing the ephemeral spring wildflowers! No KCCN coupons accepted for this program.
