Geocache Description:

The McMiller Ski trails are some of the hilliest ski trails around and offer the opportunity to view many glacial features.  What do you need to power up these hills?  COOKIES!


This series is placed along the McMiller Ski Trails within the Southern Unit of the Kettle Moraine Forest.  Please follow all posted rules & regulations including NO HIKING in winter when the trails are groomed for XC skiing.  Also on the property is a shooting range which you will likely hear if you're there during range hours.  

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies can be made a variety of ways.  Take your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and just add mint chips or crushed Andes candies pieces for the simplist form.  Add some green food coloring if you choose.  Off course, you can always make a cocoa based cookie as well, or add some mint extract to the batter.  If you're baking multiple types of cookies, be sure to store these separately as the mint tends to seep into others.  You are looking for a camo peanut butter container off the blue loop.   

These trails are minimally maintained in the summer months which means grass on the trail may not be mowed. Here is a map I created based on my GPS tracks and the McMiller ski trail map. Note there are three potential parking areas. Daily or annual parking pass is required for a fee. Refer to the geocache Chocolate Chip Cookie for these parking waypoints. If accessing from Forest Headquarters, follow the Ice Age Shelter 2 sign and continue hiking past the shelter until you are within a few hundred feet of Pecan Finger Cookie. At that point, look for a footpath on your left (pink on map) to get onto the McMiller Trail system.
