The Ice Age Trail Alliance
The Ice Age Trail Alliance is a volunteer- and member-based non-profit organization that protects, promotes, builds and maintains the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. More than 12,000 years ago, an immense flow of glacial ice sculpted a landscape of remarkable beauty across Wisconsin. As the colossal glacier retreated, it left behind a variety of unique landscape features. These Ice Age remnants are now considered among the world's finest examples of how continental glaciation sculpts our planet. Learn more at www.iceagetrail.org.
