The Quartzite Cliffs

Wisconsin is blessed with a wealth of geologic features and varieties of landscapes. One of my mainstays for hiking and refreshing is Sauk County.

Sauk County is known for its abundance of pink Baraboo quartzite. The bluffs surrounding Devil's Lake, which resisted the glaciers, offer strokes of pink among the greens and umbers of the blanketing trees. Every season reveals a different palette, but the pink cliffs remain the center of attention for me.
