Wisconsin trails · Travelling Riverside Blues
A 2.6-mile loop in Wisconsin, with 200 ft of climbing. Reaches Piers Gorge Falls and other viewpoint/waterfall destinations.
Most of the climbing sits in the first third — 70% of the ascent, between mile 0.0 and mile 0.9. It gives back about 172 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 5:40 a.m., the sun rises at 6:11 a.m. and sets at 7:32 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:02 p.m. (CDT) — 13 h 21 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 2.6-mile route takes roughly 1 h 03 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 7:14 a.m. — 12 h 18 min before sunset.
