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.

Rating is average of Minnesota side 7 and Wisconsin side 9.In April through October, time your trip to arrive at the Harbor View Cafe in Pepin Wisconsin about an hour before they open to get on the list ... no reservations accepted. For around $30 you'll get a meal that would cost $100-$200 in any city. It is worth another star or two in the amenities column all by itself. Check their website for hours and location. (No affiliation, just a long-time fan. We make the two-hour drive a few times each year for birthdays and such.)
