"This was a pretty cool "Been there" for the books. The walk out to the marker is further than it looks but the day was beautiful and there are benches along the path to rest and enjoy the peace of the area. So happy I can say been there."
"This is amazing that we have such a geological marker here in Wisconsin. The walk up to the point is taken care of very well. An older couple using a walker was there enjoying the walk while taking time to say they were there too. Very informative for younger kids to see where they are on our only habitable planet."
"Interesting geographical marker since it is only 1 of 4 in the world and the only one that is easily accessible. Make sure you get the address on the signs for the hotel to get your coin because the visitor center is non existent."
"Neat area and a quick easy walk over to the marker. My kids loved getting the coin at La Quinta where we stayed later that day."
"Awesome landmark that is one of a kind. Only four 45x90 markers in the world. One in WI, one in the mountains of China (not easy to get to). And the other two are in the ocean. Short walk from the marking lot. Fun to say and show individuals I have been here. Path to marker is clear and landmark is well maintained."
