Snow Train on the Wisco River
Shot in Lake Delton, Wisconsin along the banks of the Wisconsin River, late Jan. 2013.
The Dells of the Wisconsin River — also called the Wisconsin Dells (from French dalles, or narrows) — is a 5-mile (8-km) gorge on the Wisconsin River in south-central Wisconsin, USA.
It is noted for its scenic beauty, in particular for its unique sandstone rock formations and tributary canyons.
The cliffs, some over 100 feet (30 m) high, and side canyons are closed to the public to protect sensitive ecological features.
Although the nearby city of Wisconsin Dells is the center of summer tourist activity (the self-proclaimed "Waterpark Capital of the World"), much of it in the form of the theme parks unrelated to the river features, the viewing of the rock formations by water is still a popular tourist attraction in the area, and is the original reason the area became a tourist destination.
