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

River Terrace Prairie SNA is just over 10 minutes West from Vasa, MN off of Hwy 19 and North on Sunset Trail.  The Cannon River flows along the areas edge on the other side of Sunset Trail.  Miesville Ravine County Park is just beyond the river.

Here are some shots from the trip.
