For all my fellow Wisconsinites who have been waiting patiently, it looks like our time has finally come. According to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Facebook page, the ice is finally ready for heavy foot traffic, although the trek is said to be much more difficult than last year with large areas of exposed, bare ice on the 1.5 mile hike out to the caves. Wear spikes if you have them, otherwise be ready to slip 'n slide a bit! Here's a link to last year's post with everything you need to know about the ice caves.
New for this year: word has it that the NPS will be charging 5 dollars to get in this time around. Don't let that deter you, these caves are amazing.
