The first day of summer has the longest daylight to enjoy activities outside, like spending the day on the water.

Some of the rivers are flowing with white although not white foam, but chunks of ice instead. And at times they cause an ice jam which causes even more flooding, but in a few months the scene will look different.

On this warm weekend day, some visitors to the Dalles of the St. Croix River area may have been doing some rock climbing in the deep basalt gorge, which has walls as high as 250 feet above the water. The rock formation in the center looks like the toy robot in the “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots” old game that originally came out in 1964.

On a January day where the high doesn’t reach zero, it is easy to dream about a warm July day instead, which could include time on the water or hiking around the trails on the rocks. The potholes and other natural features make Interstate Park an interesting place to explore.

Yesterday the clouds and river had some gentle swirls midday as people enjoyed the St. Croix River in kayaks, canoes and boats before the storms moved in later in the day. The little speck of orange from a kayak looks tiny against the rock cliffs where walls in the Dalles area rise from 50 to 250 feet above the river.
