Valleys and ridges, expansive vistas, deep gorges, countless waterfalls, and thick forests. Cross a variety of notable land units and features, including the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Copper Falls and Pattison State Parks, Rainbow Lake and Porcupine Lake Wildernesses, and the Bad River.

Points of contact
