Timm's Hill - Highest Point - Whimsical Wisconsin

September 5th, we were getting ready to move to Michigan, but I decided to take a day to get one last day of touristy things done.

First, we visited Wisconsin's highest point, Timm's Hill. Wisconsin is a relatively flat state, but isn't the flattest. At only 1951.5 feet high, Timm's Hill is the 39th-highest highest point in the country. (Michigan, interestingly, has the 38th.)

So, this was the board at the bottom of the trail - we took the shortest trail... which was 0.4 mile and plenty steep enough.

This plaque was also at the bottom of the trail. Ogema is pronounced with a hard "g" and is the nearest town to Timm's Hill. We went to a parade there last year.

This little fairy called one of the oak trees home...

There is an observation tower at the top of the hill with 88 wooden steps. Add the 12 steps in front, you have a total of 100 steps up... and 100 down again (unless you have to work on the tower behind!)

Even only halfway up, the view is quite nice. I found myself wishing we could do this again when the leaves were changing - but that wouldn't be easily possible this year.

Bass Lake to the south...

And to the north...

And my video showing the view at the top of the viewing tower.

Still a long ways up the tower.

And a long ways down...

And then the 0.4 mile back to the car. @emberskydragon found her legs complaining for several days after this - due to this climb and the other hike we did on the same day - which I'll share next time.
