One of the most beautiful places I know is Pike's Peak State Park in McGregor, Iowa. If you love a view that goes on for miles, plenty of hiking trails, waterfalls, and wildlife then this is the place for you.
Just stepping out of your car in the parking lot, not even approaching the edge of the cliff's, standing among the trees you get a sense of the majestic beauty of the area. My children and I visited this fantastically stunning viewpoint in Our One Day Vacation Trip to Northeastern Iowa and Wisconsin. We try to make this a yearly outing and it is one of our favorite stops.
Looking at this view while eating a picnic lunch, it is really hard to concentrate on the food.
It really doesn't get much better than this on a beautiful summer day in August!
Enjoy the miles of Mississippi River from the north to the south.
Beautiful cliffs!
Trails lead to awesome cliffs with spring fed waterfalls gliding over them.
Enjoy beautiful Bridal Veil Falls!
All of this is free for your pleasure. Yes, Iowa really does have magnificent views! Give them a try in the Autumn when the colors will take your breath away.
