Dells Glacial
Park Tour - The Dells was formed millions of years ago during the
great glacier melt. As the glaciers retreated, they left behind crushed
rock which was carried downstream by the water from the melting ice.
Like sandpaper, the water-borne grit reshaped the landscape. The
formations you will see on this tour are the result.
One unique aspect of this tour is that you ride in a WW-II
U.S.Army 'Duck' - a noteworthy, amphibious vehicle which has been
carefully maintained and inspected to ensure its safety on the water as
well as land. A '6x6', its all-wheel drive allows it to go places where
even a 4-whel drive vehicle could have difficulties.
