This is a beautiful steep prairie remnant on a hill that faces south-west.  I visited it in August 2009, and found lots of prairie plants.

This is a view up toward the prairie from below – actually quite a steep slope.

There are birch trees and bushes on the slope leading up to the steepest part of the prairie.

This is the steepest part – lots of dry prairie plants.

Cliff Goldenrod – a plant that’s on the Special Concern list for Wisconsin
