La Crosse sits on the Mississippi River on the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota, surrounded by majestic and scenic bluffs. The area around La Crosse was largely spared from glaciation during the last ice age, leading to this unique-for-the-area geology. The Mississippi provides a large source of recreation for the city, including river cruises on replica paddle wheel and steam boats. Winter brings another set of activities, including over 650 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, and skiing on nearby Mt. La Crosse. Agriculture is important to the area, and numerous cranberry farms dot the countryside. It is also an area of Amish settlement, and tours of these farm communties, which still use horse and buggy as a means of transportation, provide a look back to a simpler time.
