This billion-year-old hill is one of the oldest geological formations
on earth. Rib Mountain State Park is a premier day-use facility with picnicking, hiking trails, and a reservable amphitheater. The top of the 60-foot observation tower offers spectacular views of the Wausau area and Wisconsin River. Granite Peak Ski Area is on the north face of the mountain and offers downhill skiing and snowboarding during winter.
Rib Mountain is off of Interstate 39 just southwest of Wausau. Exit the highway onto County Highway N west. Go straight at the first intersection onto Park Road and go about 2.5 miles to the summit. Geographic coordinates are 44° 55' 11.23" N, 89° 40' 49.50" W.
Granite Peak Ski Area [exit DNR] facilities are at the north base of the mountain. Exit the highway onto County Highway NN and go about 0.7 miles west to the entrance.
The Friends of Rib Mountain State Park operate a concession stand during the late spring, summer and fall months of the year. Hours vary on time of year and weather conditions.
