| | Limestone cliffs and bluffs dot the banks of the Mississippi River. Watch for bald eagles over the river, or hike the woods in search of deer, rabbits, and songbirds. At Effigy Mounds, explore the ancient remains of mounds built in the shapes of animals and birds. Don’t miss the fishing at Backbone State Park, or the magnificent view of the cliffs. Old world traditions remain strong in the valley towns that dot the region. |
