River
Loop Exploring the Upper Mississippi is easy for people who like to travel in a circle and get back where they started by bedtime. Major crossings are about 30 miles apart, so you can go down one side, cross the river and come back on the other. It’s also easy to spend a day exploring any of these stretches. In each of our “River Loops” columns we’ll prowl a stretch of the river for interesting places and things to do. This loop describes what to see and do from St. Paul to Minneapolis. LeClaire to Clinton, Iowa
