Best Sledding Spots in the Quad Cities
The Quad Cities is finally seeing some snow and it's the perfect time to grab a sled and hit the hills. The forecast calls for up to four inches of the white stuff and some of you are chomping at the bit to make snow angels and go sledding.
VisitQuadCities.com has put together a good list of QCA hills and I've added a few spots of my own. Pack up the kid, bundle up and strap the toboggan on the family truckster. Check out these sledding spots in your own backyard.

Cross Point Church, 1330 Spruce Hills Drive. Bettendorf 563-322-8691(never hurts to call first)
Cross Point hill was the spot my German Shepherd would follow my girls down the hill and pick up their saucer in her teeth and bring it back up the hill for them. That was a good dog.
