The surrounding area of beautiful Red Wing, MN entices you with its rolling hills, river valleys, quaint trout streams, green pastures, bountiful farmland, and plenty of wildlife. Enough so, Dan and I could set out daily to photograph its wonder.
A plethora of activities await you year round in the Minnesota bluff country. Skiing or snowshoeing in the Winter, and hiking, biking , or water sports that fill the rest of the year. The trails are plentiful and will guarantee a peaceful outdoor experience. One of my favorite hiking areas is Barns Bluff. When the top is reached, you have a breathtaking view of Red Wing and the surrounding area.
It is always a site to see the riverboats come to town. The particular images found in this post are images of the majestic American Queen. Built in 1995, The American Queen is said to be the largest river steamboat ever built. To watch her move upon the mighty Mississippi is awe-inspiring.
If ever in the area, take time to stroll through these small river towns that reside along the Mississippi banks of Southeastern Minnesota/Southwestern Wisconsin; you will be pleasantly surprised and quite taken aback by their beauty.
