The Hike:

Waukesha/Milwaukee County IAT Chapter is partnering with The Hartland Walking Club for our first WeekenderHike. Enjoy this Mammoth Challenge Opportunity with the Hartland Trail Community for a guided hike of the FULL (6.8 mile) Hartland Segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.  Our theme is finishing the Mammoth Challenge. No need to sign up, just show up!

Details:

A bus will first stop at the Cottonwood Wayside for those who want to walk approximately half of the Hartland Segment, then proceed to the Nagawaukee Park and Ride on Golf Rd (STH 83 & I-94) at the south end of the Hartland Segment. A bus will drive us to the south end of the Hartland Segment where we will be dropped off at the Nagawaukee Park and Ride. We will then hike the entire 6.8 miles (5.7 IAT, 1.2 CR) of the segment back to Centennial Park. Hikers will have an opportunity to stop for coffee or lunch in downtown Hartland. As you walk north to complete the Hartland Segment, watch for 12 Mammoth Hike Challenge signs. Hikers who complete the segment will earn a Hartland Segment pin, usually $5 but free of charge for this Mammoth Hike Challenge event!

Dress for the weather. We will cancel if weather or conditions are unsafe. These hikes are are free, and all ages and abilities are welcome. Ages 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Follow us at Hartland Walking Club on Facebook for more details and to stay updated on what’s happening.
