Start: Schaumburg

Before you enter the loop, you start out in Schaumburg which is relatively closer to Lake Michigan. You can go by the Chicago Athenaeum International Sculpture Park to check out the marble statue buried in the hill or other marvelous pieces. You can also swing by Spring Valley to check out the swans swimming in the lakes filled with greenery.
As you pass by Stillman Valley, you will come across the monument known as Stillman’s Defeat which marks the spot of an important battle during the Black Hawk War. If you decide to stop in South Beloit, you can stop by Angela’s Attic if you want to take a look at antiques.
Because you pass through many towns along this route, the speed you travel will vary depending on whether you are transitioning from an open highway to a small community. Much of your surroundings will be quaint farm country and pastures occasionally broken up by the homely buildings making up the towns.
