Let this serve as a reminder that Spring is upon us, especially with a few showers this past week. If you have never checked this out in your in-state trips, give it serious thought.
A few years ago about this time, it dawned on me that Spring would be a really pretty time to visit areas that normally we travel to in the fall. An example would be northeast Iowa, especially up around McGregor, Iowa along the Mississippi River.
On this particular occasion, something told me to check out the Decorah area. I was not disappointed. The trip was timed when everything in the early Spring is just at its peak with all the various shades of glorious green. For openers, I would rank Decorah right up there with Pella in terms of quaintness and cleanliness.
The area north of the city along the Upper Iowa River is breathtaking with its hugging rock cliffs. So close to home, it is worth the two or three hour drive from central Iowa. And, if you have the time keep heading east, much scenic beauty awaits you in our beautiful state.
