Fall is almost here, which means it’s a good time for a hike. Pikes Peak State Park in McGregor features 11 miles of trails with scenic bluffs and valleys. For new or experienced hikers, the park has trails for all ages and experience levels. Keep an eye out for fossil remains along the paths.
Hike half a mile to Bridal Veil Falls, enjoy the view from Point Ann and see where the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers converge. For a longer adventure, camp on one of the several campgrounds through November or simply reserve a shelter to take in the views.
