From the southern part of Downers Grove:
- Cross Route 53 at 59th St./Four Lakes Drive and go through the
Four Lakes neighborhood.
- Take Four Lakes Drive west. There are three different
little-known links between the west end of Four Lakes and the
east end of the Green Trails subdivision. They are drawn in red
on the attached map.
- Pass through the east part of Green Trails, and use Green Trails
Drive to cross College Road.
- Continue west along Green Trails Drive and cross Naper Blvd.
- Turn right (north) on Olsen Ave (at the end of Green Trails Drive).
- Turn left (west) on Arthur Drive.
- Take Arthur Drive to the sidewalk behind Prairie School, and
use the sidewalk to get to Charles St.
- Take Charles St. south to Prairie St (right in front of Prairie
School).
- Go west on Prairie St. to Julian St.
- Go north on Julian St. past Chicago St. to North St.
- Go west on North St. to Columbia.
- Take Columbia over the railroad bridge, past Ogden Ave., all the
way to Iroqouis Ave.
- Go west on Iroqouis Ave. to Washington St.
- Cross Washington St. at the light and continue north on the west
sidewalk to Apache Drive.
- Take Apache Drive to Cactus Drive (first right).
- Take Cactus Drive to Cortez Ct. (left at end of Cactus Drive.)
- Take Cortez Ct. to Ketten Drive (right at end of Cortez Ct.)
- Take Ketten Drive to the south sidewalk on Diehl Road.
- Take the south sidewalk on Diehl Road to Park St.

The trip from the middle of Green Trails to IHP is 5.5 miles and
