Ice Caves Set to Open Saturday

For the second year in a row the Ice Caves of the Apostle Islands are set to open on Saturday. The National Park Service is warning that conditions will be slippery and windy. We recommend that you pack water, a camera and wear YakTrax or IceTrekkers for added traction and use lightweight trekking poles. We love the Tubbs two and three piece snowshoe poles.  Stop in the shop and pick up your supplies.
