This was a moderate hike due to the two inches of crispy snow and sporadic tree roots popping up. It's a very cool place to visit. It's unbelievably quiet when there are no birds singing and no crowds of people. The only noise comes from two hikers enjoying the day...and an occasional partridge.

This place was great. We took a detour but ended up finding the loop like we had planned. The bluff views were some of the best of all the parks we've been to in SE MN. We ended up hiking down a logging road and that was crazy. There were huge ruts in the trail from the vehicles that hauled the trees. The path was narrow everywhere but it was walked on a lot so that helped. There were a few groups of deer and two eagles.
