Miller Bluff, La Crosse Blufflands North

Join us on Saturday, April 22nd for a hike to kickoff Earth Week.  This hike is part of our Linked to the Land guided hike series sponsored by Mayo Health System – Franciscan Healthcare.

We will hike to the overlook of Miller bluff – La Crosse Blufflands North. We will have two starting locations – one will be a shorter and flatter hike and the other will be longer and uphill.

The shorter hike will start at the end of Rim of City road off County road FA and the longer hike will start on Bluff Pass road off Losey Blvd.

Both hikes will meet up at the overlook where we will be able to take in the beautiful views of the river valley and listen to Professor Colin Belby from UW-La Crosse talk about the geography of the bluffs and river valley.

The longer hike will begin at 1:00 p.m. and the shorter hike will start at 1:30 p.m.
