Geocache Description:

Located at the Hastings Sand Coulee, parking lot is available off of highway 316.

The Hastings Sand Coulee is formed by a tributary stream to the Vermillion River. The stream cuts through a large expanse of the Des Moines Lobe outwash deposit, which is generally characterized by sandy and gravelly soils.
This site is the largest of a few sand gravel prairies remaining in the county.
MN DNR has gone to great lengths to restore the area. See what they have accomplished so far at: (visit link)

For other interesting Des Moines Lobe caches be sure to visit Dakota County Region (GC1Q32H) and I Kame, I Saw and I Concurred..... (GC20FMN).
