Mendota Hills Campground
When we visited Mendota Hills Campground we were amazed with the overwhelming friendliness this campground offers. It is a beautiful place to come and un-wind, find wholeness, and take quality-time with your family. The beautiful scenery makes us forget we are in the state of Illinois ! Come and see for yourself....

I think Grand Geneva is where I went skiing last year when I was up there visiting some old friends, but it may have been some other similar place. It was my first time skiing, it was great.

Alpine Valley
77 miles away
Alpine Valley is a very good ski resort for being in Wisconsin, it's a bit more on the easy side of the spectrum so if you're an advanced skier you might get bored. But I love it, it's a great place for a relaxing day of skiing. I come here a lot with my family and we all like it....
