Ice Cave Trail, Not so Icy - Blog Post #3 Weekend in Viroqua

Back in June, on that weekend we spent at the cabin in Viroqua, after our hike around the Kickapoo Valley Reserve Visitor Center, we drove to the trailhead of the Ice Cave Trail at Wildcat Mountain State Park.

The hike in and back was just under a mile. The first section ran along Billings Creek. 



With the temperature into the mid-80s, with high humidity – well, we wished there would have been ice at the cave.



Which wasn’t much of a cave, more of an overhang, but still rather cool – okay, except not cool at all in the heat of the day. But it always helps to be in good company.
