Hop Aboard Metra for Quick, Cheap Fall Day Trips

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.
