Warmer weather may have you thinking about a weekend getaway. The next adventure was suggested by a viewer. Videographer Frank Boll and reporter Jo Garrett found the spot where you can take a gentle hike to explore a waterfall or venture on for a rugged trek and breathtaking view of the Penokee range near Mellen. 

Jo Garrett:
Some claim it's the prettiest waterfall in all of Wisconsin. It's called Morgan Falls. It is nestled deep in the forest. It goes down 70 feet pool by pool. The falls are hidden sometimes behind this granite uplift. It concludes here. It's an easy walk to Morgan Falls, just over a half mile and handicapped accessible. If you continue, the trail divides and becomes more treacherous.  You are on your way up 1,565 feet. To the top of St. Peter's Dome. It's the tallest point in the whole forest. It's at the west end of the Penokee range, formed some 1.8 billion years ago. And you are surrounded by the St. Peter's Dome state natural area. Over 5,000 acres. Up top this granite dome there is a place the locals call Old Baldy. Look down. There is a US geological survey marker from 1939 and a newer one. It was a hazy day but when it’s clear you can see out past these farms to the big lake, Superior, and the Apostle Islands. St. Peter's Dome is a place of small details. And big views. Sit a spell. 

Patty Loew:
The hike past Morgan Falls to St. Peter's Dome is 3 1/2 miles round-trip. Again, we want to thank a viewer for that suggestion. If you have a story idea or feedback, let us know by going to wpt.org and click on "In Wisconsin."
