Shadow Falls

On Sunday we went upriver to Shadow Falls. We had great views up and down the Mississippi, and this waterfall is a beauty.

These two parks were set aside in the late 19th Century to preserve the beautiful scenery along this stretch of the Mississippi. We are lucky to be living between the two parks.

Hidden Falls

On Saturday we walked a short way down the river to Hidden Falls park. The trees along the river are well adapted to the annual floods .. and the falls are just a trickle at this time of year.
