Towards the western coast of the United States lies the quaint state of Wisconsin. Known as the land of four seasons it offers fresh blooms in spring to soft snows in winter. One can witness the panorama of its landscape transitioning with the changing seasons. Summers in Wisconsin find hikers walking the trails through the coniferous forests and marvelling at the herds of deer running by. Famous scenic trails include Meyers Beach Sea Cave Trail, Balanced Rock Trail and Eagle Trail.
Sports enthusiasts enjoy the most of this time by kayaking, boating, fishing or camping near one of its 11,000 natural lakes. Sites like Devil's Lake and Apostle Islands get packed with tourists marvelling the rock formations and exploring the ancient lighthouses by the coast. The myriad of dairy products mass-produced at this state have given Wisconsin its nickname as the country's Dairyland. That's why a food tour through their cheese factories is the top priority in every traveller's itinerary.
Fall is perfect to witness the charming vistas of nature formed by the multicoloured foliage. It is also a great time to enjoy a long ride along the Great River Road and halt near the great Mississippi River. As winter approaches, the state turns into a snowy fairyland. There is skiing, snowboarding, dog sledging, ice fishing, and many more to get the adrenaline rushing.
Happy crowds cosy up while enjoying a pint of beer in breweries. Wisconsin leaves no stone unturned when it comes to awe-inspiring its visitor with its vibrant culture. Its largest city, Milwaukee, is the abode of two prominent museums, Milwaukee Art Museum and Harley Davidson Museum. In fact, the sprawling estate, Taliesin, of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright is also present here. To sum it up, Wisconsin is a kaleidoscope- offering a different experience each time.
