About this trip

If you need a break from the city and some fresh air, follow us! Start at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool to keep it small and intimate, before entering a more tropical landscape in the Lincoln Park Conservatory. Each season brings new birds to Montrose Point as they migrate across America!
