An unplanned sunset by the Mississippi River - As we were driving back from the State Park we wanted to find a place along the river for a quick stop. We didn't expect the perfect timing of the sunset and magnificent colors but we sure soaked it in!
Taum Sauk Mountain Sate Park - Also home of the Sate High Point (Taum Sauk Mountain - 1,772 ft.) - #35 for us!
Next stops - The Mississippi High Point and Arkansas.
Til next time...Happy Trails!
