Blue Mounds State Park, MN
Blue Mounds State Park is not easy to get to from the Twin Cities. It's in the south-west corner of the state. Thankfully, it's near I90, but it still takes you 4+ hours to get there. It was worth it though. Most of the park is prairie, which is something you don't see in the cities. They also have a lovely heard of bison, so you get a brief sense of what it might have been like long ago. Below is a picture above the cliffs of Sioux Quartzite that make up the "blue mounds" (see the web link for the reason behind calling the pink cliffs blue) and two members of the bison herd. There was a barbed wire fence separating us that I got my camera around for the photo.
