<p>In the northeast corner of Iowa, travelers will find a scenic road that winds all the way through Allamakee County.  This byway zigzags through terrain as varied as the directions of the road.  Travelers will pass farmland, forests, valleys, and limestone outcroppings near the Mississippi River areas.  </p>
