Outdoor Wednesday/ Wisconsin Dells

Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday! A day we get to share pics of the great outdoors. Be sure to visit Susan, our wonderful hostess, for more Outdoor Posts! Wisconsin Dells is a well know tourist attraction in Wisconsin. It only has 3000 year round residents but you would never know it. They call it the Water Capital of the World because of the seemingly unending water parks. Think of Pigeon Forge, TN. And just like Tennessee there is another side. The beautiful side along the Wisconsin river.

You will see lot's of these.


And roller coasters galore!



But the best part is here, along the Wisconsin river.

And down into Witches gulch.





We'll take a little tour.






To the best part of the Dells.







Hey! I see a Packer fan and building teacher extraordinaire! AKA Hubby.








Through the gorges!










And down by the tour boat.









To an early morning mist...











Blanketing the river.












And a little lone duck, swimming all alone. So if you ever go, don't forget to see this! Cindy
p.s. my blog roll/dashboard is not updating, does anyone no why? Cindy

  1. Oh how gorgeous! I love being on the water and that boat looks like an easy way to see some of the most beautiful part of your state. I have been to Wisconsin as my father lived in LaCrosse when he was a young engineer out of school. He took us back once to visit with friends from days gone by and we had a wonderful time. Such warm hospitable people.

  2. What beautiful pictures, Cindy! We used to live in Waukegan, IL when the kids were small and we would take them to Wisconsin Dells. But that was a long time ago and this looks so much better now....Christine

  7. Cindy, this is just gorgeous! Amazing photographs of natural beauty. I always love seeing what you have in store for us! :-)

    And I noticed that my blog reader on my dashboard is slow, too. There seem to be lots of gremlins on blogger recently.

    XO,

  12. Hi Cindy,
    Now that's something I would love to do, take a nice boat ride and wander on some beautiful trails. I'll leave the water parks to the youngins' :) You took some really beautiful pictures of the rocks and waterfalls. I must live in the most boring town. Nothing like that up my way. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Loretta

  16. We were in Wisconsin Dells a few years ago and enjoyed our stay. We went to wineries around there and to The House on the Rock. We only stayed a couple of days, because we were on our way to Door County. Loved that too!

    Great photos!

  18. We took both the upper and the lower Dells boat trips when I was a child. It was LOVELY. And that was back in the day BEFORE all the water parks!!! You had the boat tours, the "ducks" and Tommy Bartlet's water show and that was about it.

    No clue on the computer question. But does that surprise you? LOL
    We will just have to get together and enjoy a bottle of wine Girl! Red or white?
    Beautiful post! See you tomorrow!
    Hugs Karen

  20. Hi Cindy, We're frequent visitors to that area.....We've been to the Great Wolf, Kalahari, and Treasure Island. And we never miss going on the Ducks or eating at The Moose Jaw. I'm just sorry we didn't make it to Jellystone before they closed. Just when Jacob and his friends could zoom around the grounds in the golf carts they used to have. ~ Robyn
