Details:
There is cactus on the prairie? A rare sight in the state of Minnesota. The rock outcrops at Blue Mounds State Park create an ecosystem where cacti thrive, as well as a few more surprising species. Take a trip into the desert with the naturalist and get to know the Prickly Pear and its resilient neighbors.
Use the Eagle Rock Vista entrance to meet at the trailhead.
Program is free to attend but all vehicles that enter the park require a valid MN State Park vehicle permit. Permits can be purchased online at www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/permit or in the park office for $7/daily or $35/year-round.
