The fall view from the top of Saint Peter’s Dome was spectacular.
We spent more time photographing the fall colors along the trail as we made our way back to the parking lot. There were a large number of bees feeding on the Asters and Tanseis along the trail.
Houghton Falls is one of the Wisconsin State Natural Areas. It is just outside Ashland, Wisconsin. I first heard about it over a year ago but had figured out just where it was and never had time to look for it. About a month ago my wife and I tried to find it using the navigator on our phones but it took us down a road that ended up in a private drive.
This time we check the location on the computer and found that we had turned one road too soon. I was a little surprised at the number of people visiting the area.
We had gone up to Bayfield to pick up some fresh apples and decided to stop at Houghton Falls on the way back to Duluth. It was a beautiful fall day. I was impressed with the area and plan to make another visit before deer hunting season.
