Hiked a section of the Ice Age Trail and Butler Lake Loop to see the fall colors and some aftermath from a supposed tornado that touched down back in August.

The drive up was colorful as I made my way up Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive:

The trail is really close to being at peak colors:

The Sumac were vibrant:

The local clubs have been busy clearing, but a mile in, I reached the end of the cleanup:

Decide to turn back and loop around on a snowmobile trail that crossed a couple hundred yards back:

Finally, Butler Lake:

For a cool and sometimes rainy day, it was still a perfect day to be out on an adventure!

Looks beautiful out there. I feel like I missed the whole summer. Hoping to do some snowshoeing and climbing this winter.

Just snow climbing. I don't have the balls for ice climbing. I only do snow climbing because the views are amazing and I can get away from crowds. Do you ice climb?
I got into rock climbing for a while. All of the pick axes and crampons we're too pricey for getting into ice climbing. We also lived in Georgia so ice was pretty sparse.

Been awhile since we got out on a hike but did a decent one today. Along the trail wasn't too special but the view near the top was worth some pictures.

Nice views! The scenery in Colorado certainly is different than Wisconsin! What was your elevation?
