We’re back with the second day of our Fall Getaway Guide. Yesterday we gave you all the tips and tricks for the best road trips near Chicagoland, but you don’t need a car to have some fall fun! That’s right, we’re talking about one of Chicago’s most underrated getaway options: day trips on the train! Host Jacoby Cochran is joined by Allison Yates, the founder of Read & Run Chicago and contributor to a TimeOut article on the best day trips by Metra!

Allison also mentioned the book Chicago Transit Hikes by Lindsay Welbers.

For more car-free trips including treks on the Amtrak, South Shore Line, and the Greyhound, head to our website: chicago.citycast.fm.

This is the second of three parts of our Fall Getaway Guide. Tomorrow, we’re talking camping, glamping, and getting outdoors.

Some good news: Chicago’s Inaugural Exhibition Weekend starts Friday!
