Our next hike was another 50/50 shot – this time we are trying to see the waterfalls at Witches Gulch from above without paying the $30 boat tour costs. Trail head can be found north of Chula Vista resort on River Road and is simply labeled on maps as “Dells of the Wisconsin River“. No … Read more
Next stop was a 50/50 chance at seeing some amazing waterfalls and a rocky gorge at Pewits Nest State Natural Area. The trail here is composed of crushed gravel and seems very new. It also appears the wooden fences are very new. First we tried to access on the path to the right of this … Read more
Another quick, short hike with extremely rewarding views is at Ferry Bluff State Natural Area. Recent rains had water levels high and bugs were mildly annoying but if you hike fast enough there’s no issue. Another view looking the other direction across the Wisconsin River. Some of the best scenery in the state right here. … Read more

This time I was joined by my sister Emma for a seat-of-the-pants adventure starting at Natural Bridge State Park. Just a quick stop at the arch today – stay tuned for more unique destinations to … Read more

Gotta say I didn’t expect to see such an impressive show – nearly 3 hours long and one of the best light displays I’ve ever seen. Setlist can be seen here. Don’t forget to … Read more

Sadly this one is surrounded by private land and can only be viewed from the roadside. If you visit, please be mindful and don’t trespass! Here’s a … Read more

At the parking area there are some interesting historical buildings that … Read more

Drove a few miles around on farmland roads and arrived at Fonferek’s Glen, a small park in Brown County with surprising features. Some cool barns at the parking area. The viewing area for … Read more
