Rib Mountain State Park

Red Trail and Quarry Loop

Red Trail and Quarry Loop
We visited Rib Mountain State Park in peak October, and there were people everywhere!  There was a fall festival for people to enjoy the beautiful colors in Northern Wisconsin.  This park has so much to see and do.  Visit in the winter to ski, snowshoe, and the rest of the year enjoy some fabulous hiking.  The Red Trail and Quarry Loop is about 2 miles with some moderate sections in it.  The views and landscapes are breathtaking though!  You are up high enough that you look over Wausau below the park.  I would make sure you bring good hiking shoes for this hike.  The park does require an entrance fee of $8 (out-of-state $11) per vehicle for a day-use pass or an annual pass for $28 (out-of-state $38).
