Cedar Mountain SNA

I explored a Scientific and Natural Area that's new for me over the weekend.  Most of it is highly degraded prairie overgrown with sumac.  When it started to rain I headed into the wooded part of the area, attempting to stay dry longer, and discovered unique rock formations. I made it back to the truck soaked but happy with the my discovery.  The label "mountain" is a relative term in the Minnesota River valley. It has a high point allowing a great view for miles downstream. I can only imagine the view 200 years ago.
