Great River Bluffs State Park

Great River Bluffs State Park is classified as a "Natural State Park" and all attempts are made at preserving it to remain in exactly the condition it is in;  few, if any, changes.  Its panoramic views of the Mississippi River Valley are adorned with groves of oak and sugar maples so the view is worth the trip.  I found the trails up and down the ravines to be beautiful hikes with lots of color and wildlife including eagles.  The secluded picnic area made for a quiet afternoon lunch with my family and we have made plans to come back this winter to try out their sledding hill.  Word has it that the Drevlow family includes some world-class downhill sledders!

Brigham having fun with the leaves!

Brynn and I battling the
leaves.  There were so many of them!
