A week ago, Natalie, Zed, Willow, and I spent the morning at Butler Lake and Flynn’s Spring State Natural Area enjoying a short walk on the Ice Age Trail before the mosquitos chased us away.
The Ice Age National Scenic Trail is a thousand-mile footpath that highlights these landscape features as it travels through some of the state’s most beautiful natural areas. The Trail is entirely within Wisconsin and is one of only eleven National Scenic Trails.
But the Ice Age Trail is more than a path through the woods. It is a place for mental and physical rejuvenation, a place to unwind after a hard day, and enjoy the landscape of Wisconsin. More than 1 million people use the Ice Age Trail each year to hike and snowshoe, to backpack, to disconnect and reconnect. This is something that both of us have desired for a while given the state of our world for the last few months.
After our very brief hike was cut short, we decided that the next best thing to do was eat hamburgers! We drove the short trip to nearby Dundee and enjoyed a delicious hamburger outside at the well-known Hamburger Haus. EPIC!
