Holy Hill

We checked another item off of our Fall bucket list this past weekend! It was the peek for fall foliage in the Milwaukee area and I wanted to go somewhere to see all the pretty leaves. We drove out to Holy Hill on Saturday afternoon, which was the perfect place to go for this activity. We got there right at golden hour, and it was beautiful! But also cold and windy. We froze our butts off! I think there were even a few snow flurries. We didn’t take many pictures because our hands were freezing but here are the few we did get if you’d like to see.

Holy Hill is a Roman Catholic shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The shrine is located on top of a hill above 400 acres of woods. There is also an observation tower you can climb for stunning views of the fall leaves and the Milwaukee skyline in the distance. It was too windy the day we went, but the hike was beautiful and we still had great views from the base of the shrine. I’m sure we will have many opportunities to go back when the weather isn’t so crazy. How was your weekend?
