Written Directions

Start in Red Wing, MN and head west on US Highway 61 for about 5.5 miles. Take a left on to highway 19 (now heading south) for about 7 miles. This road offers some good turns but the next road is even better. Now take a right on to County 7 Blvd and stay on this heading north for 8 miles. This will take you to and through Welch, MN and continue all the way up to the route's endpoint when you run back into US Highway 61.

Scenery

You'll be going through a valley that at times feels like being in the mountain valley out west. Overall beautiful scenery and would be even better in the fall with the leaves are changing.

Drive Enjoyment

This is the twistiest road I have ridden in southern Minnesota ... I'm not exaggerating ... way better than the Rushford highway 16. I'm not exaggerating ... this is a fun road! Some corners are very tight and tend to be addictive.

Tourism Opportunities

Nothing to mention as far as roadside amenities. However, gas and food can be found in Red Wing.

Great curves, wonderful short route. Just be careful on some turns, little sand in some spots :)

One of my favorites, though, it's always part of a longer ride. Since I'm in St Paul, I usually take 61 to Hastings and then left on 10th St that turns into Ravenna Trail (MN54), left on MN68 that runs past the Casino. Right before heading up the hill (you'll know it when you see it) take a right on Cty 19 Blvd. That winds to 61 just east of the Welch Rd so take a right and then a left by the Luthern Church a mile or so west. You'll be at the start of this route.
