Hike the Ice Age National Scenic Trail in Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area
Rate this Adventure Gibraltar Rock State Natural Area, Wisconsin
One of Wisconsin's best kept secrets in the middle of the state. Drive 1 hour north of Madison to view these bluffs!
Gibraltar rock is approximately 1,200 feet above sea level, and has 200 ft. cliffs overlooking the Wisconsin River valley. This is a challenging hike uphill as you have to start at the parking lot from the bottom. The views are 100% worth it once you reach the top. Once you get up to the top, there are a few trails you can take along the bluffs that will ensure you get a great spot for sunset.
You will find many people picnicking, resting in hammocks, and taking in the sunset up here. Bring your camera, bring a snack, and enjoy the views!
