When we were walking around La Crosse yesterday, we found the visitor information center along the Mississippi River was open. We looked around inside a bit and I found some information about hiking and canoe trails. The brochure that I grabbed for the Hass Tract, a Mississippi Valley Conservancy property, seemed interesting.
We began our hike in beautiful fall weather on this quiet Sunday morning. The trail immediately started a climb up to a ridge.
There were a few broken views through the tress up on top of the ridge, but the views mostly led out across the sprawl of Wal Mart and other big box stores. Soon enough we came to a section of the property that approached private property.
Here the trail made a sharp right turn which we followed to an opening created by a power line cut. There were views of the surrounding city, bluffs, and power lines.
At the end of the trail was a bench which Noelle and I rested on for a short time
before heading back down the trail.
It was a short hike of about 2 miles round trip. Since we had some time, we decided to head over to the Turtle Stack Brewery for some beers, before lunch and running some errands in Onalaska.
