More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You settle into the pedicab as the river breeze pushes up the bluff; the Heights Tower shrinks behind you and Grandview Drive unfolds — a ribbon of asphalt flanked by lawns, stone houses, and open outlooks that dare the Illinois River to keep moving. The pedicab’s gentle pace gives the landscape space to breathe: you pass manicured historic homes, roadside markers, and lookout points that angle toward river bends and barges below.

Book late‑day for golden light

Bring a wind layer
The bluff can be noticeably cooler than downtown; a light jacket prevents a chilly ride back to the tower.

A liability waiver is required for each passenger; complete it online before arrival to avoid delays.
