Pike’s Peak in Iowa – Camping at Wyalusing, Blog post #4

For a couple days back in August, Hubby and I camped at Wyalusing State Park in the southwest corner of Wisconsin.

Across the river from there is Pike’s Peak State Park in MacGregor, Iowa. Not quite the same as the Pike’s Peak I’ve been to in Colorado, but the view was still stunning here in the upper Midwest.

I don’t know if you can read the plaque on the rock, but this is where the Wisconsin River empties into the Mississippi. The first white men set foot in this area in 1673. Just a few years ago.

Back on the Wisconsin side at Wyalusing, there is a sad memorial –  

-        extinction of the passenger pigeon. 

How horribly tragic and senseless.   

The next morning, we packed up camp and headed home. Last camping trip of the summer.
