The Old School and Des Plaines River Trails

I rode the Des Plaines River Trail (DPRT) once again last month and this time I brought my camera and explored some of the trails that intersect the DPRT too. I explored some of the paths through the Old School Forest Preserve and also through Wright Woods.

My friend, and excellent photographer, Dale, came with me with his camera too so we got some pretty decent photos of these trails on this quick late summer ride. Dale has been creating some HDR (high dynamic range) photos recently and I have posted some of these on the photo pages for this ride.

Woods along the Old School TrailBefore I will get to the link to the new DPRT photo pages I wanted to mention that I rearranged all of the photo pages by newest to oldest rides since the old photo pages are from a long time ago and the photo quality is not nearly as good as the newer ones.

Also I wanted to mention that with all these high quality photos the one that I selected for this blog is a photo that I took with my iPhone and that also caught some sun glare through the trees. The reason that I selected this one is because I liked the panoramic view (which is real easy to do with my phone) and I liked the way the sun shined through the trees on this part of the Old School Trail.

Once again, the DPRT is a great trail and the intersecting trails ~ the Old School Trail and Captain Daniel Wright Woods Trail in this case ~ are also very nice too.

I have posted our photos and described this ride on the Old School and DPRT Trail Pages that start HERE.
