The Wisconsin Dells are beautiful. The sandstone layered rock formations are only found in a few places in the world. Best viewed from the river, the Original Wisconsin Duck Tours is a great way to take in the views of the rocks, learn the geological, political and Native American history, as well as legends, of the area. The "dalles" were named by French fur traders, meaning 'tiled rocked.' They were formed by rushing flood waters from a glacial lake thousands of years ago and they've been drawing tourists to the area for more than 150 years.
The "Ducks" are amphibious land/water vehicles. Alex loved the "splash down" --- the moment when the vehicle races from land into the water. The tour glides passengers down the Wisconsin River, races through the woods, hauls you up-and-down narrow curvy paths, weaves through Red Bird Gorge (where you can stick you fingers out to touch the formations) and paddles on Lake Delton.
