When visiting Clayton, be sure to check out Pike's Peak State Park. The park is home to the highest bluff on the Mississippi and features gorgeous views yearound. Be sure to check out Bridal Veil Falls, the Point Ann hiking trail, and Look Out Point.
If you're willing to travel a bit further down the spectacular "Great River Road," you'll discover Effigy Mounds National Monument, home to over 200 American Indian ceremonial burial mounds. Visitors have the opportunity to take in the unique sites, and learn about the people who built them.
