River
Loop
Day Tripping on the Upper Miss
Exploring the Upper Mississippi
is easy for people who like to travel in a circle
and get back where they started by bedtime. Major
crossings are about 30 miles apart, so you can
go down one side, cross the river and come back on
the other.
It’s
also easy to spend a day exploring any of these
stretches. In each of our “River
Loops” columns we’ll prowl a stretch of the river
for interesting places and things to do. This
loop describes what to see and do along the road
from La Crosse, Wis., to Lansing, Iowa,
and back.
