1. Wisconsin River Wanderings

Featuring a 2-Night Stay at the House on the Rock Resort

Scenery abounds here in the Uplands of Wisconsin – this driftless area of valleys and hills was not leveled by the last glacier. Highlights include: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin near Spring Green, House on the Rock, Wisconsin Dells Boat Cruise, The Fireside Dinner Theater featuring “Back to the 50’s”, the unspoiled beauty of the scenic Wisconsin River of southwest Wisconsin and so much more! Relax and refresh at the House on the Rock Resort located on a course featuring 27 holes of championship golf. The design of this lovely resort was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s style of architecture of building within the natural landscape. Savor the delectable cuisine offerings. With blooming flowers, freshly green landscape and more hours of daylight than in any other month of the year, June is the perfect time to travel.
