Grey Cloud Dunes SNA - north parking — photo spot in Cottage Grove, MN 55016, USA
Grey Cloud Dunes SNA - north parking
Wind-sculpted Mississippi River sand dunes, oak savanna ridgelines and river overlooks offer expansive landscape and intimate nature shots. Best at golden hour for warm side-light on dune textures; spring brings wildflowers, fall brings color and clearer skies. North parking provides trailhead access (sandy, uneven footpaths); no gate fee but wear sturdy shoes and bug repellent in summer. Weekday mornings are quieter.
