"Though Iowa may have a reputation as flat farmland, the 500-foot bluffs of Pikes Peak State Park allow you to look over the Mississippi River and feel like you're standing on the edge of the world. While you're here, explore Bridal Veil Falls (an appropriate venue for engaged couples and newlyweds), archaeological treasures like Bear Mound, and the park's abundance of bike trails and campsites." - Travel + Leisure Editors
