Peak colors at Picnic Point
I went hiking along Picnic Point this afternoon.
The foliage there seemed to be at peak autumn color.

When hiking, don’t forget to look down. There’s beauty and wonder on the forest floor as well.

Devil’s Lake bluff trail
Along the boardwalk
Last Sunday I went for a hike at Cherokee Marsh. When I got to the section of trail that has a boardwalk, I couldn’t help but focus on the old, weathered boards.
Hiking through Copper Falls
I also visited Copper Falls State Park while vacationing in Northern Wisconsin earlier this month.
The most scenic views of the park are along the Doughboys’ Nature Trail. Along that thick, wooded trail, you get great views of the deep gorges and park’s largest waterfalls.
Cabin in the woods
