After nearly three days on the road, I finally made it to the Mississippi; but before crossing it, I had a couple more things to see. Across the river from Prairie du Chien, I paid a visit to Effigy Mounds National Monument. After browsing the museum, I hiked a trail the led up a bluff overlooking the river valley. Along the trail were a number of prehistoric native American mounds of various shapes & sizes (e.g. conical, linear). The most interesting were a those that looked like bears. I hiked a little further to see Twin Views Overlook, but found the best vista at Fire Point closer to the trailhead.
