It is one of only 3 solid rock mountains along the entire Mississippi River.[1] Location and accessTrempealeau Mountain State Natural Area is located in western Trempealeau County approximately {{convert|2|mi|km}} southwest of Trempealeau within Perrot State Park. Access is via the Mississippi and Trempealeau Rivers.[2] DescriptionTrempealeau Mountain is mostly wooded, dominated by black and white oak and basswood. In a hollow on the southeast-facing side, red oaks are found mixed with patches of interrupted ferns. On the cooler northeast-facing slopes, sugar maple and basswood dominate. The dry south-facing slopes contain small patches of dry prairie with big blue-stem, needle grass, side-oats grama, hairy grama, white and purple prairie-clover, prairie larkspur, and partridge pea. Numerous Native American mounds, burial sites, and habitation sites make this a rich archeological site. French explorers were among the first Europeans to explore the area and the name Trempealeau comes from the French, “la montagne qui trempe à l’eau” meaning “the mountain whose foot is bathed in water”.[1] {{gallery|mode=packed|align=center|width=160|height=160|File:Trempealeau Mountain SNA.JPG|Trempealeau Mountain SNA (viewed from Brady's Bluff SNA) |File:Hollow on Trempealeau Mountain.JPG|Hollow on Trempealeau Mountain |File:View from Trempealeau Mountain peak.JPG|View from Trempealeau Mountain peak |File:Exposed rockface at Trempealeau Mountain.JPG|Exposed rockface at Trempealeau Mountain }} References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Trempealeau Mountain State Natural Area|url=http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lands/naturalareas/index.asp?SNA=356|publisher=Wisconsin DNR|accessdate=1 December 2013}} 2. ^{{cite map | publisher = Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources | title = Trempealeau Mountain State Natural Area | url = http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/lands/naturalareas/documents/topomaps/map365.pdf | accessdate = 2013-11-29}} External links
