Trade the Sidewalk for the Skyline
Take the scenic route without scheduling a workout.
The 606 / Bloomingdale Trail
Where: Between Ashland and Ridgeway avenues, with 12 access points across the Northwest Side
When: Daily, 6 a.m.–11 p.m.; try a weekday before dark
Cost: Free
Route: Check the official trail map and choose one short segment.
The elevated 2.7-mile trail links neighborhood parks and public art. You don't need to walk the whole thing. Twenty or thirty minutes above the street is an entirely legitimate reset.
