This section of the Timberland Hills Segment of the Ice Age Trail starts at the Timberland Hills Ski Area Trailhead on County Road H (which is also 3rd Street) and ends at Boyd Road. Timberland Hills is a popular cross country skiing area. There are many crisscrossing trails in this area that intersect the IAT. The area is also popular for mountain bikers. The Ice Age Trail follows a number of forest roads through this stretch. This day was mostly sunny and cool with the temperature around 60 degrees and light winds. This hike started at about 11:30AM.
