This is where Frank Lloyd Wright found his passion for creating and living with nature. You will find his inspiration contagious along this route. Begin your ride with a view of Taliesin North, Wright’s home, studio and school. After a steep climb, stop at the scenic overlook for impressive perspective of the area that informed Wright’s design concepts. The House on the Rock, one of the state’s largest attractions, is just down the road. Photo opportunities abound along this route with some very scenic views from ridge tops and throughout the verdant valleys. The Wisconsin River valley is replete with breathtaking vistas that have inspired people for many ages. Elevation changes make this route a challenge but a delightful ride. State Highway 23 is relatively busy, but it has good paved shoulders. The south and west portions of this loop negotiate several good hills and should be considered difficult.
