Wicaḣapi Regional Park — Attraction in Saint Paul

There is an area just north of the burial mounds a circular pattern but the natural spiral of a snail shell or the cochlea of our inner ear and so many natural occuring shapes through out the entire Earth our solar system and beyond. It fits in a way but kind of too close to the burial mounds in my mind. But still amazing if you can experience it. If you stand right in the middle of the circle in the start of the spiral and speak, sing, scream: the world is so amazing our lives are miraculous! Thank you great creator! We are living at such an amazing time. We are all blessed. Or just make grunting noises or sing like Tibetan monks powerful guteral throat singing. Whatever noise that comes from the inside of yourself. You will, if you are standing in the right spot, you will hear an echo that resonates inside your head. I am not sure of the exact physics of what exactly is going on but I was surprised and in awe and it continues with the more I realize the importance of the spiral so interconnected with what life is. I thank my friend for sharing...

Visited this local park for the first time after reading about it for years. Historical protected Indian Mounds high on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River are the highlight of the park, as are two art sculptures that appear to be Native American (will be looking online for info on the artist; no info in the park). The location of this park is amazing for the views allowed by it's high elevation overlooking downtown St.Paul, the regional airport, the Mississippi River, and Hwy 61 - you can sit on any number of benches strategically placed near the edges of the bluff and watch the trains, planes, automobiles, and boats go by. There is also an adorable playground area for children, lots of picnic tables, and walking/biking paths that run the length of the park. We went in March on a sunny day, so the trees and flower gardens were not in bloom, but we are already planning a return trip to experience the park in another season to see the wild rose gardens and the trees...

So, I've been doing this thing since Daylight Savings time happened a few weeks ago, that I was going to try once a week (whether permitting) to go visit a spot in or around the Twin Cities and watch the sun set after work.

This past week, I went to Indians Mound Park in St. Paul and was not disappointed. The park offers a unique view of the river and the city behind it - and it also boasts 6 prehistoric Indian burial mounds. It's pretty sweet. I'd like to go back in the spring or summer because there was still quite a bit of snow on the ground and I wasn't able to explore the park as much as I would've like.

Overall, it looks well-kept and seems like I fun place to take in.

As I drove down the hill, I was able to capture several other photos, and it brought pure joy to my heart to see that I wasn't the only one enjoying mother nature's work of art...
