The Driftless Run

A 3-day loop through Wisconsin's Driftless Region — the unglaciated valleys, crooked rivers, and bluff-top views most travelers never reach. This is a preview of what a custom Crossing Horizons itinerary looks like.

Tower Hill & Governor Dodge
Day 1
Dodgeville, Wisconsin

Tower Hill & Governor Dodge

Start at Governor Dodge State Park — a quiet driftless valley most travelers blow past on the way to the Dells. Hike the Tower Trail up to a panoramic ridge view at golden hour, then descend to a fireside dinner at a restored 1800s inn. Easy 4-mile loop, 600ft gain.

Restored farmhouse inn — private room
Kickapoo River & Wildcat Mountain
Day 2
Ontario, Wisconsin

Kickapoo River & Wildcat Mountain

Canoe the Kickapoo — the most crooked river in the world — through sandstone cliffs and quiet backwaters. After lunch, hike Wildcat Mountain for a ridge view that drops into three states. A relaxed day on the water with one short, steep climb.

Riverside cabin — wood stove, no cell service
Potosi & the Mississippi Bluffs
Day 3
Potosi, Wisconsin

Potosi & the Mississippi Bluffs

End at the Mississippi. Hike the bluffs above Potosi for a sunrise view across three states, then visit the oldest brewery in Wisconsin for a long lunch before the drive home. A slow, scenic finish — the kind of morning that makes you not want to leave.

Head home — or extend to a 4th day
