Here’s the view looking north on Canyon Park Road. There are three “sets” of bluffs in the photo. The first couple of hills in the picture show the hills near the Military Ridge, the next set are the bluffs of the Wisconsin River and the thin blue line in the far distance are the Baraboo bluffs.

And that’s the Military Ridge bike trail crossing the road in the foreground.

The trees behind the sign are on the edge of Military Ridge Trail, which crosses Canyon Park Road.

Some days you can watch the fog roll down the driveway in the early morning. Other days great misty clouds rise up out of the canyon.

In addition to the Military Ridge Trail, Road Biking is popular and rewarding. The area is mentioned in Espn’s Top Ten! 

There are also competitions that are challenging. These roads races test the mettle of any biker. The Horribly Hilly Hundreds begins in Mt. Horeb, about twenty minutes from Canyon Park.

The Dairyland Dare is another event and is held in Dodgeville with various timed lengths and challenge sets.

And the Bombay Bicycle Club hosts this event. Canyon Park is about 15 miles from Taliesin.

And there is a new site about biking in SW Wisconsin.
