    Blogposts from GRR: La Crosse to St. Paul 2025 are complete. This post provides an outline of what we saw and links to posts about each stop.

  • A Very Grand Finale

    Our Great River Roadtrip concludes at a lovely B&B in Winona. Charles' personal touches and delightful breakfasts made this a great choice!

  • One Last Move

    Today we saw more Great River views, an Eagle Center, another Lock & Dam, and a unique sculpture garden – with lunch by two Grumpy Old Men.

  • On the Road to Red Wing

    Lots of stops on this moving day entertained us along the Great River Road. We saw a bounty of bridges and an eagle adorned in silverware!

  • Excellent Tour Guides!

    As our Great River Roadtrip continues in the Twin Cities, what could be better than a combination of great friends and the Mississippi River?

  • Our Inn on the River

    With a winery, a wildlife refuge, a lock and dam, and plenty of trains (very close by) – our two-night stay in Trempealeau was just perfect.

  • Sunfish Capital of the World!

    In this post we spend time in Onalaska amazed with the beauty of its lake and river views (and its Sunfish) en route to our next two nights.

  • More in La Crosse, WI

    Our trip continues in La Crosse. Grandad Bluff, Pettibone Park, really big beers and a beautiful sunset by the river made this a perfect day.

  • GRR: La Crosse to St. Paul

    We've been driving through La Crosse for years, but until this trip up the Mississippi, we've never spent much time here. Big mistake. Huge!
