Ellen Explores the IAT

The IAT is 1 of 11 National Scenic Trails in the whole country, making Wisconsin proud. You may be wondering why it’s called the Ice Age Trail…well, over 12,000 years ago, Wisconsin was covered in a huge glacier flow.

A hike was the best way to start to the new year! We had the Loew Lake segment of the @iceagetrailorg almost to ourselves. Cheers to health and happiness in 2023!πŸ»πŸŽ‰
