Map Monday: Minnesota’s Great River Road

Spring is here, spring is here. Life is Skittles and life is beer.

Among the other signs of spring in Minnesota, we have both river flooding, and scenic sights along Minnesota’s Great River Road. This includes the Apple Blossoms of La Crescent, eagles, birds and other wildlife emerging for the season.

Today’s map features the Great River Road through Minnesota. This is one segment of the National Scenic Byway.
