Written Directions

Get yourself to Lacrescent, MN (Just outside of La Crosse) and take US 61 North all the way up as it hugs the Mississippi River and takes you into Red Wing, MN. For an awesome return trip, just cross the river into Wisconsin and head south along Wisconsin 35 (the Great River Road) as it hugs the river on the east side ... you're really going to enjoy this trip!!!

Scenery

Ride along the Mississippi River - most beautiful scenery I've ever seen, been to 28 states, nothing like it !!!

Drive Enjoyment

The roads are good quality and have a nice amount of turns as they follow the path of the Mississippi.

Tourism Opportunities

Not really too much to do here but there are place to get gas and food.

Both sides of the river are great. You stay closer to the Mississippi on the Minnesota side. Great little places to stop anywhere along the route.

Beautiful colors on the bluffs with the trees beginning to change. The roads, 61 and 35, were in good repair and traffic was moderate. Plenty of curves to lean into.
