Me and my mom are driving from Michigan to Minnesota to visit my brother. We will drive part way the first day and stay in Baraboo. The second day we will drive from there visit La Crosse and then drive the rest of the way up along the great river road. My questioning is are there any places along The great River Road (between La Crosse and St Paul) that anyone really suggest or can tell me more about? I have found a few places that the Great River Road website suggest but I would love to hear other places or what you really recommend! Any responses will be appreciated! =o)

Not on the road but, the Crane Museum near Baraboo is a great quick visit.

It's been a while since I've been there, but Perrot State Park north of LaCrosse is a real nice park. You can get a great view of the Mississippi River and surrounding area.

But there is a car fee, for out of state residents it's a hefty $10/day, $5 for an hour.

In Baraboo, Dr Evermore has his scrap metal sculpture garden if you're up for some weird art. It's one of Americas unique roadside attractions: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/9aaa5/da9d4/
