Madison/Chicago Fall Hike ๐ | Scenic & Magical Trail
๐ Navigate to: Holy Hill โ 1525 Carmel Rd, Hubertus, WI ๐ฅพ Trail Access Point: Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Hartford, WI Located near the stunning Holy Hill Basilica, this area offers some of the most beautiful fall hiking in the Midwest ๐โจ. Although itโs closer to Milwaukee, itโs well worth the ~1 hour drive from Madison! I visited once in summer, but autumn is when Holy Hill truly shines โ especially when the leaves turn gold. The entire forest looks like itโs straight out of Rivendell from The Lord of the Rings! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ At the top, donโt miss the basilicaโs observation tower โ but be ready for a workout! Youโll need to climb 178 narrow and steep steps ๐ . The view from above? Absolutely breathtaking โ you can see rolling hills painted in red, orange, and yellow ๐๏ธ๐ธ. Whether youโre into hiking, photography, or just soaking in epic fall vibes, this trail is a must-visit! #Hiking #FallHikes #MidwestAdventure #HolyHill #WisconsinHiking #AutumnVibes #LordOfTheRings #RivendellVibes #MadisonWI #ChicagoDayTrip
