You nailed it on your butterfly identification. Native Minnesotan now living elsewhere, but I had never heard of this site until today. I wish I had known about it when I lived there as it looks like a scenic spot with an interesting history.
Love your video, thank you for sharing! I first visited here only a few short years ago but am so glad it was preserved and not developed. I'm one of those birders/photographers you mention, but also enjoy learning about history. I've been back about once a year since then.
This is very cool. Never knew that area was preserved. I hike all over the eastern half of the metro now. I used to hike all over Minnesota. This is definitely a spot I am going to visit. Nature and history have been my interests since childhood. Thanks for doing your videos. 👍👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to make this informative video, it is much appreciated. I live nearby and plan to check out this area in the coming months.
I had no idea this area was now accessible. Years ago I dabbled in photography and wanted to venture into this area, but signage kept me out. I assumed it had something to do the the airport and security. Thank you for this video. I am also an elderly walker and will have to check this out.
Many thanks. Definitely going to check this site out. Stillwater may be regarded as the birthplace of Minnesota, but the Mendota region is easily a close sibling, if not its twin.
There are more than a few apartment buildings whose walls facing the view of the Minnesota River Valley from the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers are windowless. This goes to how stairwells are now placed in newly constructed American apartment buildings, the placement of which do not allow way to wall apartments but only wall to hallway. Another insult to our ability to appreciate the landscape about us.
SO glad this land was protected
Many sincere thanks to all of those who stepped up to save this beautiful and historic site.
Thank you for making this video. We enjoyed exploring this place at sunset!

One of my favorite spots! Especially at night, beautiful skyline views

I havent been down there since about 2010, I'll have to go back next spring/summer!

Thank you! It’s unfortunate that so few have found this. But I believe that in time it will be a frequently visited treasure.
Excellent...thanks!!!
Great Video!!! My family's farm was taken over by the cemetery. Some of the bricks are still in the tree line in-between Pilot Knob and the cemetery.
Goooood
