Field Trip: Lapham Peak!

The weather was perfect today, so Jack and I got in the car and went on a short field trip. Not far from our house is Lapham Peak, a Wisconsin State Park.

One of the great things about visiting Lapham Peak is that there are miles of trails to walk.

Some trails are paved.

While other trails are dirt.

In addition to miles of hiking and biking trails, there are
acres and acres of trees and natural wildlife to enjoy.

If you go to Lapham Peak, you have to visit the 45-foot observation tower. "The Tower" was erected in 1940, and offers the highest viewing point in Waukesha County.


While visitors of all ages can enjoy the natural beauty of Lapham Peak, parents like me can appreciate it for another reason. Miles on the trails, added to a healthy dose of fresh air, creates the perfect recipe for Jack to nap for the rest of the afternoon.

Nice.
