It takes hours and gets stranger as you go. - [Taliesin](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b10-taliesin/): Frank Lloyd Wright’s home, studio and school on 800 hilly acres; tours start from the visitor center on County C. - [Devil’s Lake State Park](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b19-devils-lake/): A clear lake between 150 m quartzite bluffs, with the East Bluff and Balanced Rock trails climbing over boulder fields. Wisconsin’s busiest state park: arrive early in summer; a vehicle admission sticker is required. - [Apostle Islands sea caves](https://camping-spirit.com/places/apostle-caves/): Red sandstone caves along the lakeshore, reached by kayak in summer or on foot when the lake freezes. - [Wildcat Mountain State Park](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b10-wildcat-mountain/): An overlook of the winding Kickapoo River valley; canoe outfitters in Ontario rent boats for the gentle river below. - [Grandad Bluff](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b10-grandad-bluff/): A 600-foot bluff with views over La Crosse, the Mississippi and into Minnesota and Iowa. A good spot at dusk as city lights come on. - [Parfrey’s Glen State Natural Area](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b19-parfreys-glen/): A narrow sandstone gorge with moss-covered walls, Wisconsin’s first state natural area. Floods destroyed the boardwalk, so the last part of the 2.6 km round trip follows the rocky creek bed; no entry beyond the waterfall. - [Circus World](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b19-circus-world/): A museum on the winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers circus, with over 200 circus wagons and live big-top shows in summer. Check winter opening hours before you go. - [Mirror Lake State Park](https://camping-spirit.com/places/b19-mirror-lake-sp/): A quiet no-wake lake in a sandstone canyon just south of Wisconsin Dells, good for paddling. It is also home to the Frank Lloyd Wright Seth Peterson Cottage, which has open-house days. ## FAQs **What are the best road trips in Wisconsin?** Popular routes include Door County peninsula, Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, Baraboo Hills and Wisconsin Dells and Lake Superior’s north and south shores.
