Mini-Quest Log: Hiking Timms Hill
Originally written: June 2016
Revised: August 2022
We woke up to confirm that our campsite was indeed barren. I wandered around the sites to grab some leftover firewood left by the previous campers. We cooked up some oatmeal over the fire, both of us having a much larger than usual serving. We then planned out the day.
We were going to be staying at the site for 2 days as we expected that Timm’s Hill would end similarly to Eagle Mountain, taking about 7 hours to climb with it mostly being uphill. We figured we would be exhausted at the end so it would only make sense to just stay the night to rest rather than drive 2 hours to our next site.
After our discussion, we left northwest to Timm’s Hill, Wisconsin’s highest point. Surprisingly enough, Timm’s Hill was not a hard trek at all. It took us less than 10 minutes to get to the peak and climb the wooden tower above it.
We snapped some pictures of the point but now we’re trying to think about what we should do for the rest of the day.
