The Ice Age Trail received national attention as a featured destination in Travel + Leisure!

The 1,200 mile trail in Wisconsin is protected by the Ice Age Trail Alliance and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and is now part of the National Park Service.

“The Ice Age Trail is more than a path through the woods,” the Ice Age Trail Alliance website states. “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 one million people use the Ice Age Trail each year to hike and snowshoe, to backpack, to disconnect and reconnect.”
