At in length, Highway 26 runs parallel to the Mississippi River and is a portion of the Great River Road. The route begins at the Iowa state line where it continues as Iowa Highway 26 and ends at an intersection with Minnesota State Highway 16, south of La Crescent. ==Route description== State Highway 26 serves as a north–south route in southeast Minnesota between La Crescent, MN and Lansing, IA. The route follows a scenic path along the Mississippi River; as such, it makes up a section of the Great River Road. Because it is located in the Driftless Area, the Mississippi carved out a deep river valley, leaving high undulating bluffs which loom above the highway. Highway 26 is nestled between the base of the bluffs and the river channel. MN 26 begins at the Iowa state line near New Albin, Iowa, where Iowa Highway 26 crosses the border from the south. Immediately upon entering Minnesota, Highway 26 enters the Richard J. Dorer State Forest. For its first , Highway 26 borders the backwaters of the Mississippi River, which lies to the east.〔 Near Reno, the river widens at the pool behind Lock and Dam No. 8. Highway 26 continues north along the Mississippi River and the Iowa, Chicago and Eastern Railroad line towards Brownsville. North of Brownsville, Highway 26 begins to turn inland away from the river. Six miles () north of Brownsville, Highway 26 ends at a T intersection with Minnesota State Highway 16, near the Root River and the city of La Crescent.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota State Highway 26」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
