Horseshoe Mound: Sunrise and Sunset Views

💟Located at 1679 North Twenty-First Road, just off US Route 20, this site serves as the eastern gateway to the historic city. 💟Spanning 200 acres, it offers panoramic views of three states—overlooking Galena, the Galena River Valley, Bellevue, and Dubuque in Iowa, the Mississippi River, and several geological mounds across Iowa and Wisconsin. 🍁 It’s a nature preserve perfect for those who love natural scenery or want a quiet place to enjoy sunrise or sunset. The open vistas provide expansive views of rolling fields and the distant horizon. 🍁I recommend visiting in the early morning or evening—the light is soft, the scenery is beautiful, and it’s rarely crowded. 🌳The area isn’t large, and the climb to the top is easy, taking about ten minutes, making it suitable for families with children or those who aren’t regular hikers. 🌳The environment is peaceful and clean, with minimal developed facilities—just pure, natural beauty. Admission is free, and parking is convenient, making it a great spot to relax when passing by. #NaturalAttraction #SunriseSunset #Galena
