Ice Age Trail


The Ice age trail is a 1200 mile trail that follows the terminal moraine left from ancient glacial ice. It is awesome trail with rolling hills, prairie, pine forest, some steep climbs, even switchbacks! Cruising the roller coaster like hills, just being grateful that I can put in 20 miles pain free! There is two races held on this trail the Ice Age 50 and Kettle Moraine 100, don't be surprised if you see the 50miler on the race calendar come May. After running these trails I want to race, thru hike, and camp all over them!
This weekend should be awesome after thanksgiving dinner my dad, Honey B, and I are loading up the car and driving the 6 hours down to Shawnee National forest in southern Illinois for a two day backpacking trip. Expect a post about the adventure.......

Look at the Pine forest sooo cool



Nearing summit!
