There are not many areas where cornfields run into forests but we are blessed with these sights.
We must have uttered the word beautiful/ some derivative at least 50 times. Stunning, simply stunning. See, what I mean?
To be honest we were a bit late for some of the color in the 65 acre park. It's been a couple years since our last fall visit but I remember the striking yellow park drive. This time we needed to stop to capture this typical goldenness.
That's not to dissuade you from heading over because the surrounding countryside and vistas are indeed colorful. Even if our hike on the Hemlock Trail loop had me stopping more, ok, ad nauseum for moss and mushroom pics. (Maybe I should have been a mycologist but don't worry I'll stick to leaves today. )
Mt Pisgah due to its north facing cooler location indeed is unique with its virgin white pines normally found in northern Wisconsin. (Remember we are located in southwestern Wisconsin.) Both the pines and hemlocks are ginormous as this location has never been logged nor grazed upon. The damp trail was a bit treacherous covered with leaves and pine needles covering gnarled roots and the like, but the winding trail's vistas once it reached the ridge did not disappoint... I'll just let you judge for yourself.
Nice.. I should of had you scout out an electrical site for me.
