Start: Galena
End: Savanna
As you travel close to the Mississippi River, you start out in Galena. You can stop by Ulysses S, Grant’s Home if you wish to explore the abode of the former Union general turned U.S. President. You can also enjoy the natural scenery at the Thunder Bay Falls and Grant Park.
Most of your travels will take you over rolling hills and have plenty of bending turns that are reminiscent of “the Dragon” in Tennessee. Because the twists have blindspots, you should be mindful to slow down so as to avoid colliding into any local wildlife.
Upon your arrival in Savanna, you will pass by the Mississippi Palisades State Park on your left-hand side. Within the town itself, you can visit the Savanna Train Car Museum. If you wish to browse a shop, you should look around Frank Fritz’s Finds.
