Wisconsin Tourism: Zip Lining or Climbing?

Would you rather go zip lining through the trees from hundreds of feet up or climb to the top of a bluff to see the fall colors?

Tim Masthay #8 – Climb to the top of a bluff to see the fall colors and sit there in peace.

Jordy Nelson #87 – Zip lining. I did it up in Minocqua. They just opened one up there.

B.J. Raji #90 – Climb to the top of a bluff.

Aaron Rodgers #12 – Neither. I’m scared of heights.

Sam Shields #37 – Zip lining.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix #21– Zip lining. I’d rather be attached to something than not be and fall off a cliff.

When fall in Wisconsin turns the landscape from vibrant green to a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges and yellows, it’s time to grab the camera or smart phone and start hiking. Here are a few prime locations – from the tops of bluffs to remote lakeshores – that are well worth the hike or climb. The reward at the end is a stunning view and a great photo to remember it.
