Lookout Point in Hixon Forest

Lookout Point in Hixon Forest

We continue our May trek along Wisconsin’s west coast with a stop high above La Crosse. Hixon Forest’s 800 acres are criss-crossed by 13 miles of trails for hikers and dirt bikers, winding their way up and across several bluffs with great views of the region. I was lucky enough once to come across a large group of peregrine falcons (a peck of peregrines?).
