Hiking - There are many beautiful parks within a short driving distance of LaCrosse. We have two state parks in Wisconsin, two state parks in Minnesota, and two state forests close to us. When we include the county, conservation, and city parks we have a lot to choose from. Most of these parks have extensive hiking trails. There is also an abundance of quiet scenic roads to enjoy. Our area has all the variety that we could want. Let's share the experience and explore them together.

Geocaching - Geocaching is a treasure hunt game for GPS users. Individuals set up caches and share the coordinates on the internet. GPS users then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found you sign in and if you take something from the cache you leave something for the next visitor. Geocaching started in Oregon in the year 2000 and has exploded onto the world scene. There are over 339,923 active caches worldwide. If you do a computer search for the LaCrosse area you will find 64 sites within 20 miles. We have an experienced Geocacher in our group and she loves to share her game with others.
