Grundy County High Point Trip Report

From the intersection of Routes 47 and 52, proceed west on 52 to County Line Road on the LaSalle County line. Proceed south to White Willow Road then another 0.5 mile to the tri-corner point where Kendall, Grundy, and LaSalle counties meet.

From here, I walked south along County Line Road to make sure I got the highpoint in that direction. Then I returned to the tri-point and walked east along the fence line to make sure I got the highpoint in that direction. Approximately 3/4 mile to the east of the tri-point is a round knoll in the middle of the corn field that appears to be the highest point of the group.

Doing this highpoint before corn harvest would be a challenge as the visibility would be much lower. In addition, it was easier walking the fence line in the corn stubble than in the tall grass along the fence.
