Checking the view from Iowa's Pikes Peak

Yes, there is a Pikes Peak State Park in Iowa. Another of the Register's 100 Places in Iowa, this park provides to pretty amazing views of the river and striking leaves on the overlooking hillsides. The image in the upper right is Wyalusing in Wisconsin.

While Linda and I were standing, admiring the view, a bald eagle soared by about one feet in front of us. Pretty cool!

We followed a couple of trails back in the hills and hollows of the park. As most of our day had been, this too was filled with the colors of autumn.
