The Artist Couple
After what seems like an eternity of broken computers and printing for thesis, I'm finally catching up on my always expanding list of things to do. First up is a little Ice Age Trail action. We have done five segments since I last blogged about our IAT hikes, bringing our cumulative total to 97 miles. I'll start with the earliest two, Loew Lake and Monches segments, which we both completed at the same time during the winter. Monches was what we started our hike with that day. This 3.1 mile segment takes you through mostly marshlands and the Oconomowoc river. It was a decent hike with only slight elevation changes. There are plenty of springs, streams, and water along the way, with many benches for resting your tired feet and enjoying the beauty. This segment does pass through the backyards of several houses at one point, so if you are looking for a more secluded hike, I might not recommend this one. Overall it is a beautiful segment, one which I think would be lush and gorgeous pretty much any time other than winter. This was trail that greeted us at the 4.8 mile Loew Lake trailhead. Of the two segments this one was both our favorite. It offers a nice variation of pine forest, prairie and riverside hiking. The trail is well blazed and maintained, and offers some educational information posts about the history of the area.
