I've been segment hiking the Ice Age Trail, which runs about 1200 miles across Wisconsin, following the glacial retreat across the state. This segment was mostly a connecting route on road, but the skies delivered!

Here I'm hiking up and onto an esker, common along the IAT. They were formed when the glacier melted, dropping what had been stream beds comprised of rocks, gravel, and sand, on the tops of or through the glaciers. So they're basically upside down stream beds.

Cover of the #JenniferPharrDavis book. THE PURSUIT OF ENDURANCE, showing a woman hiking up a hillside.
This book was reeeeally good. I just finished it and if you are into #hiking #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning, and GEESH, it was FUN!

The #IceAgeTrail, entirely in #Wisconsin, is 1200 miles long,...approximately as long as it is from #NewYorkCity to #Miami (1280 miles)!

Nice kettle pond along the Ice Age Trail. There are lots of these in the Kettle Moraine. This one is right in the middle of the city of West Bend, Wisconsin. Got in about 4 miles today.

What a beautiful day here in SE Wisconsin! 62 F (17 C) and sunny. After several warm days the snow is mostly gone. I got in about 4 miles on the IAT thru West Bend. You would never know you're walking thru a city of 32,000 people. Very nice section of trail!

Last weekend, I went out for 4-miles on the #IceAgeTrail, one of #Wisconsin's most beautiful ideas...1200 miles of trail, all in one state!! If you haven't hiked any segments yet, you ought to! :)
I took out Used #LeicaSL2 with me, along with my own #LeicaM 50/1.4, and made some photos!

My first hike of the new year on a section of the Ice Age Trail. It's located about 1/2 way between Cross Plains and Middleton. #iceagetrail #hiking #winter
Most of the day was on the re-routed Ice Age Trail. It’s pretty nice, but cut out one of my favorite short segments.

Am ALWAYS excited to see people excited about the #IceAgeTrail!
I really implore you to go watch this interview with #CoreeWoltering. He's a darn nice guy, an enthusiastic #trailrunner #ultrarunner, and is passionate about #NaturePhotography ! Watch both parts (and hear him talk about the #IceAgeTrail, here in #Wisconsin)! youtu.be/m0cXPQ3w47s
I went solo, but there were plenty of strangers to keep my company! There were refreshments, frozen lakes, and lots of laughter. Only in Wisconsin!
Also snapped a few long exposures.

Didn't stop at the backpack campsites today, but hope to get in a winter overnight camping trip soon. These 3 campsites are along the Ice Age Trail in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Comfy 19 degrees F today.

A beautuful balmy winter day here in Wisconsin. 25 F and sun reflecting off the snow. I got in just over 4 miles in 2 hours of hiking.

Today I got a better look at Holy Hill. This pic is from the IAT, which travels 2.5 miles thru church property. That made my yo-yo hike 5 miles and took 3 hours on snow covered trail over some steep hills. And I saw 6 deer. :-)

Holy Hill as seen from top of Powder Hill, tied as two highest points in southeast Wisconsin, and about 5 miles apart. Today I got about 4 miles in 2 hours. Nice winter walk.

Been busy with holiday stuff, so today's short hike was my first since winter arrived here exactly one week ago. A bit slippery in a few spots, but still enjoyed an hour out in the woods.

Every year, as the seasons change, I shift from one outdoor activity to another. Right now it’s a move from cycling to hiking. As the rich fall colors fade — except for the stubborn leaves that may hang on through winter — I’ll keep following the seasons. #nature #hiking #iceagetrail
When the sun gets down into the trees, its time to head back, or I'll be caught in the woods in the dark. Fine if I had my hammock and tarp along, but I don't. And it got down to about 15 F overnight. This was yesterday on the Kettlebowl Segment of the Ice Age Trail, WI.

View from the trailhead, high stop an old ski hill overlooking the woods
The sun shines through the trees, casting long shadows across a carpet of leaves
It has been too long since I visited an old friend. #iceagetrail #doorcountywi #sturgeonbay
My hike today at Polk Kames forest preserve included a nice walk through a beautiful stand of white birch. Sunny, temp of 45 F, crunching through the dry leaves. Gotta love it!

I don't have any plans to take a hike today on #NationalTakeAHikeDay, but here are some photos from my hike on the #IceAgeTrail in 2023 in the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest to celebrate.
