Duluth woman aims to complete winter thru-hike of 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail Chelsey Lewis, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Completing a thru-hike of the 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail is challenging in any season.
But Duluth’s Emily Ford is adding an extra degree of difficulty: winter.
Ford set out from the trail’s eastern terminus at Potawatomi State Park in Sturgeon Bay on Dec. 28 with the hope of finishing at the western terminus in St. Croix Falls in March.
If she completes her hike, she’ll become just the second person and the first woman to complete a winter thru-hike of the trail.
