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.

I took a trip to Onalaska, WI last year, and decided to ride to Wabasha, MN since one of my absolute favorite movies is Grumpy Old Men. I decided to take this loop for the trip. Despite the rain I rode in throughout that day, I had a great time. The roads were decent, and following the river was nice. There were a few places to stop along the way, and plenty of chances to get gas. I stopped at Slippery's for lunch, because, well, Grumpy Old Men, it's the thing to do. Very enjoyable ride, and I have absolutely no regrets. I'd love to do it again in better weather, but all was well.

Ride it every July with a pack of obnoxious hooligans. Always great, through rain, heat and everything in between. Can get a little crowded on the weekends. Stop at Ed's No Name in Winona if you go!
