St Croix River boat tour

This morning we drove to Taylor Falls, MN and took a river boar tour down the St Croix river.  It was fun and the weather was great.  I did get a few photos as can be found in the link below but I missed the biggest landmark picture.  Just a short way down river from the dock the captain told about a formation in the rock walls of the dalles (river canyon formed by glacier) that looked like a very large cross.  I could see the image in the stone but was on the wrong side of the boat to get a picture.  It is this landmark that gave the St Croix river it's name.

If you zoom in to picture #5 you can see rock climbers on this rock face.

Tonight we have tickets to the Midwest Country music show in Sandstone, MN which is just a few miles north of our campground.
