Top 11 Most Beautiful Scenic Hikes In America

Ice Age Trail, WI And MN

A long, long time ago, glaciers flattened much of the Midwestern part of the US and resculpted a landscape with some unique features, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

At the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, you’ll find a footpath that stretches over a thousand miles and is excellent for hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing, and some sections are perfect for cross-country skiing as well.

There are actually sections of the trail that aren’t finished yet, but in total, it extends to around 1,200 miles long. Volunteers have primarily maintained this trail, and it is a lovely place just to decompress and rejuvenate yourself, both physically AND mentally.
