"Beautiful place to hike!"
"Cannot believe this hidden gem exists in Iowa. Such a beautiful hike in Dubuque. Trails can be a little daunting for someone not accustomed to rocky trails leading to the upper bluffs."
"Horsebluff is a nice medium hike through woods (taking the North trail) up to the to the bluff providing amazing views. It then takes you down into a canyon that feels like the southwest with more amazing views. Birds note: loud of species here late April, early May. Orioles, Redstarts, swifts, vultures,"
