>>2567093WI, near Devil's Lake State park. 2 million or more tourists annually. Most of them are from Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago, but thousands of seasonal workers come from all over the world to work in the Wisconsin Dells and they all end up at the park eventually. On the positive side I really enjoy being able to casually talk face to face with people from every continent in a single month. I just wish the Hispanics would leave their stereo backpacks at home. I can always smell the Arabs/Indians before I see them on trails hiking up the bluffs in loafers. Once in a while a hippy chick wearing next to nothing will pass me and I'll look back to ask her how far the trailhead is (I've been hiking there since I was 8 lol)
On the topic of ankle support, people lose their footing out on the bluffs like it's trending on Tik Tok. The local ER gets packed with college kids every summer. Someone dies almost every year. One guy went free climbing alone, fell and broke his spine, sat there fully conscious for 2 days before dying, 100 ft from a common trail. I see people hop up the boulders everday I'm there like "let's see how this ends lmao".
