Horseshoe Bluff, Mines of Spain Rec Area
Fall color is peaking right now along the Upper Mississippi River. Last week I suggested hiking at Turkey River Mounds south of Guttenberg, Iowa. Another place where you can usually enjoy good color with good views is the 1,400-acre Mines of Spain Recreation Area at Dubuque, Iowa, especially from the Julien Dubuque Monument and the Horseshoe Bluff trail.
