Start your day with an exciting adventure up 600 feet to the top of Grandad Bluff! Here you will experience the best views in La Crosse before heading to historic downtown La Crosse for some amazing coffee, and shopping. La Crosse has the largest shopping district in over 9 counties so the whole family can find one they love.

Destinations

bluff 2

Grandad Bluff

Follow the winding road up to the 600-ft high bluff that overlooks the city of La Crosse. From the top of the bluff you can see three states, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa! This view is absolutely spectacular regardless of the season! Coin operated binoculars allow you to get an even closer look at the beauty surrounding you! PC @mnbucketlistmom

The Peal Ice Cream Parlor

Although best known for their homemade ice cream and waffle cones, The Pearl also makes a delicious cup of coffee at their coffee house! After enjoying some of the best views in La Crosse, grab a hot coffee, a cold brew, or one of their seasonal drinks before heading out for the rest of your adventure. My personal favorite was the cold brew with caramel. PC @mnbucketlistmom

Pearl Street

Wrap up your morning with some shopping in historic downtown La Crosse. From books to antiques, clothing to home decor, there are so many places to check out! We loved Pearl Street Books for a huge selection of second hand books that reminded us of the library scene from the beauty and the beast! Drift Merchantile for adorable gifts and Curated for the most beautiful home decor! PC @mnbucketlistmom
