We took a trip up to Wisconsin Dells earlier this year, while there was still a good amount of snow on the ground. It was a fun trip, even though much of the water parks were closed down for the winter.
We stayed up at Christmas Mountain, a Bluegreen resort, and were able to do a little bit of tubing and skiing. It can’t really compare to the magnificent slopes you’ll find out west in Colorado, but it was still a lot of fun.
Devil's Lake State Park, Wisconsin
One of our side trips was an excursion to the Devil’s Lake State Park, a glacial rock formation with a large frozen lake (during the winter) set in between high cliffs on all sides.
Dad and I took a hike up along the south ridge and got a nice view of the lake and the surrounding hills. We also encountered quite a few interesting rock formations and boulders which were remnants of glacier activity in the past.
Gene sent in one of the photos to the State Park photo contest and we won 3rd place! Pretty cool. You can see the submitted photograph here, of a boulder which has a striking resemblance to a face.
