Fall Color Along The Mississippi River
Iowa City has a unique lodging opportunity for those who pilot their own small aircraft.
After sampling the fall color along the Mississippi River pilots can land in Iowa City's Airport and then check in to the nearby aviation themed Alexis Park Inn & Suites.
The rooms are all dedicated to different eras in aviation.
The Wright Brothers Suite has a two bedroom Victorian décor with full kitchen and a view of the airport.
At 690 square feet the room is well worth the $125 per night base price tag.
Additionally the management offers airport pick-up with advance notice.
The WWII Mustang Suite at about $85 nightly is even more unusual with the P-51 fighter parts incorporated in the decor.
The Apollo Suite starting at $100 a night is decorated in tribute to the space race.
Many other suites, each with all the comforts of home and its own history of flight, await the visitor.
Mississippi River tourist destinations listings are not complete without mention of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, a division of Ambassadors Cruise Group.
Fall Foliage tours abound as several routes are available on their website.
Prices range from about $800 to about $8600 depending on length of stay and accommodations.
Cruises include berths of three nights to 12 nights.
Routes called the Wildriver Tours, America's Heartland and American Heritage tours travel along the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
The steamboat lines offer various CityScapes packages that offer sightseeing excursions in the many cities that are stops along the way.
CityScape destinations include three separate stops in Tennessee, St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh as well as Minneapolis & St.
Paul.
These are reasonably priced and include upscale lodging and transportation from the paddleboat.
CityScape Plus packages offer additional dining and tourist opportunities.
