We went camping this week at Palisades State Park with my family. Mom and Dad got a new little used camper this summer and were itching to try it out. Kris and Marie met us there with their pop-up and the rest of us stayed in a camping cabin (which worked out great since it had AC and it's been a bit warm lately).
Palisades is filled with Sioux Quartzite which appear as pink rocky outcroppings along the river that cuts through the park. There are trails throughout the small state park that let you get closer looks at the the rocks and walk along Split Rock Creek.
Above is a view of the bridge (built in 1908) that we later drove over. If you click on the picture to make it larger--you'll notice some teenagers who were illegally cliff diving.
Palisades is a great little State Park, and I'd certainly go camping there again....just hopefully when it's a bit cooler so we can really enjoy the hiking.
More photos from Palisades State Park are posted here.
