"After spending the night near Duluth, I had hoped to go up this 2nd highest of 4 Pikes Peaks (!) in WI, since the highest one is on an Army Base. But the mosquitoes were so bad when I got out of the car that a 1 mile whack was deemed too much to bear. At least I found a suitable pkg. spot for a future trip to this area.
From here, it was a 90 min. drive to the High Point of Douglas County, called the Summit Lookout Tower. A mile and a half drive off Rt. 35 on Summit Tower Fire Lane led me to a pull-off near the trail's start. I followed the fairly well worn whack path from the fire road. It was a short 10 min. walk through tall grass and tree branches to the old tower summit area. The 4 tower footings (from 1932) and the 1934 USGS summit benchmark are still clearly visible among the larger growth. Then it was on to the Polk County high point, the Frederic Lookout Tower, being on my way toward Green Bay." — SteveM_StickMan • Jul 12, 2023
