Fall color will soon touch the leaves of the Chippewa Moraine area, and nothing can beat a walk along the trail in early October: the reds and yellows reflecting in the deep blue ponds and lakes all set against the green background of the towering pines and oaks.
Join us on Saturday, October 4 for the annual Parade of Colors Fall Hike. We'll help you get started with trail walking by tailoring a hike to meet your interest and ability, we'll take you to the starting point and give you a good map, and we'll welcome you back with a picnic lunch in celebration.
This is the 50th anniversary year of the Ice Age Trail and our organization which has envisioned and built it. Come celebrate with us!
You can register for your hike any time between 9 and 11 AM on Saturday morning. You can walk 6 miles, 1 mile, or almost any distance in between. You can't go wrong with any of your options, as the trail glows at this time of year with color. If it's a social experience you enjoy, bring a friend or make a new one on the trail. If it's serenity you seek, you'll find that aplenty.
Either way, these golden days of fall come once a year, and this is an opportunity to enjoy fall at its most resplendent!
