The Presentation

Discover the Ice Age National Scenic Trail – it’s closer than you think! 

Do you know there’s a National Scenic Trail only 2 hours from downtown Chicago? Spend an evening at Sulzer Library to discover more about the Ice Age Trail, a 1,200 mile footpath found entirely within the state of Wisconsin.  Ancient glaciers carved the path through rocky terrain, open prairies, kettle lakes, and peaceful forests.

Today, hikers, backpackers and outdoor lovers of all ages step out on the Ice Age Trail to unplug, relax, explore and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

Learn about the history and geology of the Ice Age Trail, plus find out about the wildly popular October Mammoth Hike Challenge, and leave with plenty of resources to have a safe and enjoyable journey, including hiking and backpacking itineraries designed for (and by) Chicagoans. Whether hiking or sauntering, be inspired for adventures on the Trail!
