Carroll County High Point Trip Report

Heading west on IL 72 to Carroll/Ogle county line. Continue on 72 for 1 mile, turn south on Gold Mine Rd. Follow Gold Mine Road south for 3 miles to Locust Road, turn west. After 1 mile turn north on Grange Road.

I parked along the road 3/10 mile north, and set out across the newly-disced cornfield, which made for rough going. The hike to the first high area is approximately 4/10 mile.

From there, go roughly north on the ridge (still field) to the second area 3/10 mile away.

I believe the first area is the highest. I would be interested in opinions from others who have done this county.
