Wisconsin's High Point - Timms Hill (alt. 1,952 feet)
Pictures Of Wisconsin's Highest Point, Observation Tower, Autumn Foliage - October 8, 2008
On the morning of my visit to Timms Hill, it felt like I had a "hangover" from
yesterday's intense visit to Minnesota's high point.
The long drive across Minnesota,
the constant rain and long hike made for a very intense day.
However, today was a relaxing day. The sun eventually came out, and the drive from Duluth
(where I stayed overnight) was much more pleasant.
I was hopeful to have a full day photographing the colorful fall foliage.
If you view the pictures below, you'll know autumn's colors kept me quite busy! :)
How To Get There: Timms Hill is located in a county park (Timms Hill County Park) in southeast Price County.
The entrance is located on Highway 86 between the towns of Ogema and Spirit. Inside the park, drive on the narrow and paved road to its end.
The short 300 yard walk to the high point and observation tower begins at the parking lot.
Wisconsin's Timms Hill was my eleventh state high point. Yes, I am slowly but surely visiting all of them!
By the way, I have a web site dedicated to all 50 U.S. state high points: www.highpoints.us.
My hope is to build it into the very best place for information and inspiration about high pointing in America.
