Reserve Status:  OPEN
SUPER SAVER:  $749

Breathe in the sweet country air and soak up the sun as you start this tour in the bluffs and quaint towns along the Mighty Mississippi. Quaint farms, rural countryside and dairy lands tell their stories as you bike the patchwork of back roads that make this tour a cycling delight. Take a spin through history on the Sparta to Elroy Trail, once a major rail link to Chicago, now a pioneering recreation trail. Clown around in Baraboo, birthplace of the Ringling Brothers circus. "Make yourself at home" in Beaver Dam, then pedal through the eskers and drumlins that line the Kettle Moraine Scenic Byway. If you continue to the next tour, you'll take an historic ferry passage across Lake Michigan from Manitowoc to Ludington, beginning another adventure across Michigan and Ontario.

Please Note: There is an additional cost for the ferry across Lake Michigan.
