Musings…A Preview of the 2020
Trailbuilding Season
TIM MALZHAN, TRAILWAY DIRECTOR
2020 portends electrifying developments affecting nearly 100 miles of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.
In the Blue Hills of Rusk County, an ancient mountain range and one-of-a-kind wilderness experience beckons; in the Chequamegon National
Forest, stunning terrain distant from the muddy footprint of today’s trail excites; in Marathon County, the 7-mile ‘Landscape Crossroads’ of the
Ringle Segment moves closer to fruition. These, and dozens of companion projects, of all sizes and shapes, in counties across the state, will
feed new narratives, inspire new visions, and fi re the imaginations of generations to come.
It’s an exciting new decade of legacy undertakings…please join us!
