Wooded ravines, wetlands, prairie pockets and a boardwalk make The Hollows rich for moody forest scenes, reflections, seasonal wildflowers and songbirds. Best at golden hour or early morning for mist and birds; spring for blooms, fall for color. Small free parking at the trailhead; trails can be uneven and muddy after rain. Managed by local forest preserves—carry insect repellent and leave no trace.
