Beautiful view out over the Mississippi river from Bellevue state park, Iowa.
BTHW55 Heading for the lock at Bellevue, Iowa, a barge heads up the Mississippi River.
This is the view from the top of the south loop of Bellevue State Park in Bellevue, Iowa.  A very nice park with a variety of trails and attractions.  There is a campground as well.  The town of Bellevue is an attractive, interesting little river town.
Late October at Bellevue State Parks Butterfly Garden. The late Fall Zineas were in bloom attracting some interesting late season butterflies. This is a silver spotted skipper that decided to sit still for a couple of seconds.
One of the best natural outdoor butterfly gardens is located at Bellevue State Park in Iowa. When this area is at peak timing the number of butterflies, moths and hummingbirds is crazy.

We were on our way to Chicago and needed a place to stay. The Baymont had a room to accommodate my family. We did not do any sight seeing in the area, but it looked like it did offer many attractions.

Love this town! There's a cute little bookstore and a consignment store, along with many more stores and restaurants. Cool park with lookout over the Mississippi River.

It was a wonderful weekend. Met a lot of nice people and the food and staff was superb. Will certainly consider staying at the cabins next time.
