The Pasque flower is one of the first wildflowers to bloom in our area of Minnesota. \u00a0There was so much going on early in the Spring; especially once it arrived after much delay. \u00a0We didn’t get out to the River Terrace Prairie State Natural Area <\/a>(aka gravel prairie)\u00a0right away, but made it in time to still witness these first offering of bloom and color.<\/p>\n

River Terrace Prairie<\/a>\u00a0SNA\u00a0is just over 10 minutes West from Vasa, MN off of Hwy 19 and North on Sunset Trail. \u00a0The Cannon River flows along the areas edge on the other side of Sunset Trail. \u00a0Miesville Ravine County Park<\/a> is just beyond the river.<\/p>\n
