Friday with five miles of hiking between downtown Sturgeon Bay and the Eastern Terminus location within Potawatomi State Park. Masa and his 50-pound pack have been on the Ice Age Trail for approximately two months after beginning his trek at the Western terminus at Interstate State Park in St. Croix Falls. He has experienced Wisconsin hospitality along the way. Masa was greeted with care packages in Algoma and Kewaunee before being welcomed to Sturgeon Bay with a pizza and a warm place to sleep before his final day of hiking. 

During the mid-morning hours on Friday, Masa reached the Eastern Terminus with a beautiful view and members of the Friends of Potawatomi State Park to celebrate the end of long journey across the state.

A Japanese travel writer, Masa hopes to hike all of the country’s scenic trails in the upcoming years. You can look back on Masa's journey here.
