This is one of my favorite places to hike in northern Wisconsin. From FR 202 parking lot, going east.

Craig Those are stunning pics! Who says the west is the best.

Thanks! The west is mighty awesome, but the Penokee Range in northern Wisconsin used to be much like the Alps. However, it was ground down by 6 or 7 million years of Glaciers and erosion.
I can only image how much cooler Wisconsin would be if it still had a mountain range like the Alps.

I've added a couple links to the geologic history of the area, and the North Country Trail.

Oooops! That should be 6 or 7 hundred million years.
Sorry about the error, my memory isn't what it used to be.
