The Great River Road, which follows the Mississippi River along Wisconsin’s western border, is a scenic drive any time of year, winding past forested bluffs in the state’s hilly Driftless Region.
The 3,000-mile national scenic byway follows the Mississippi for its entire length, through 10 states from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. The 350-mile Wisconsin segment mostly follows Highway 35 from Kieler to Prescott, sometimes squeezing between the river and its 400-foot bluffs and other times weaving into Wisconsin farmland.

As part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal to attempt to re-activate the American economy and bring it out of the Depression of 1929 five Civil Works Administration facilities were created on Lookout Mountain and the Northwest Georgia community of Fort Oglethorpe.
Much of the road construction at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park during the 1930s and 1940s was connected to the other work projects on Lookout Mountain completed by the Emergency Conservation Works Administration.
The first of five camps was occupied by black workers and was complete with mess halls, kitchens, and baths at Fort Oglethorpe and would be called Camp Booker T. Washington after the famed black American educator.

While some Seattle families are opting to spend extended time away combining remote learning and workcations at a sunny destination, many are instead reinventing what spring break means to them by exploring closer to home and enjoying the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest.
Even when road tripping and hiking or cycling scenic trails, it’s important to pack plenty of personal safety essentials like face masks and hand sanitizer. As you book your campsite or hotel, be sure to review local guidelines for social distancing and verify current occupancy levels can accommodate your family.
