Hiking, Hops and History

We particularly enjoyed exploring the micro breweries on this trip. Bayfield is a pretty town but very busy if you travel on the weekend, allow extra time to find a parking spot.

Rural Retreat

A nice day away from the city! Although we had been to most of the destinations before, it was nice to walk a scenic trail we hadn’t before, browse a mill and sit outside in the sun (in November) at a craft brewery we had never experienced. Having the route planned out was lovely as it took away the usual ask, “What do you want to do today?”. We would highly recommend this route if you enjoy scenic hikes and beer off the beaten track.
