Just a one-tank trip from many Midwest cities; make northwest Illinois your destination this summer. Choose from a wide range of lodging options, including resorts, vacation rental homes and quaint bed-and-breakfasts. Visit historic sites and savor locally-grown award-winning wines in the vineyard, or shop for keepsakes. Pack your clubs for one of the 10 scenic golf courses, soothe your body at one of the spas and fly the horizon at dawn or dusk from a hot air balloon.
