Sights Along The Trail
Primary attractions include topography left by glaciation in the Last Ice Age. Glacial features along the trail include kettles, potholes, eskers, and glacial erratics. Many of the best examples of glacial features in Wisconsin are exhibited in units of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve, many of which lie along the trail.
Wisconsin is also host to many forms of wildlife characteristic of the upper midwest. Numerous species of mammal can be seen along the trail, including red fox, American red squirrel, white-tailed deer, porcupine, black bear and grey wolf. A great variety of birds can also be seen along the trail - hikers along southern segments may see an Acadian flycatcher, Henslow's sparrow, red-headed woodpecker or hooded warbler while further north white-throated sparrows, ruffed grouse and bald eagles become more common.

Famous quotes containing the words sights and/or trail:
“Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us—at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women’s movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums—what should they be? how should they act?—that became our uncertainties.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
