Perrot State Park

Last Saturday (April 17) we made our first visit to Perrot State Park near Trempealeau, Wisconsin. The town and the park are on the Mississippi River. The park is named for Nicholas Perrot, a French fur trader who spent the winter of 1686 there. We hiked to the top of Brady's Bluff with friends Dave and Caroline (and their son Aaron). It was a beautiful spring day.
