When complete, the Ice Age Trail will be over 1200 miles long
stretching across Wisconsin tracing the path of the last glacial
advance. We are fortunate, here in the Chippewa Valley to have one
of the most unique segments of the IAT right in our own backyard.
The Chippewa Moraine unit NE of New Auburn offers some magnificent
hiking opportunities in the form of the loop trail and the main E-W
running main trail of the IAT. This 3 part series attempts to give
you a taste of the loop trail, it's fantastic scenery and the
geologic wonders of the ice age.

A BIG thanks to 'yuppers' who pioneered geocaching along the Ice
Age Trail in our region.
