Look for our beautiful, classic turn of the nineteenth century two-story red brick building on the Northeast corner of Cedar and Riverside Avenues – very close to the Metrodome, University of Minnesota, West Bank and the seven corners intersection.
Light rail is coming to Midwest Mountaineering! We are excited to be located less than one block from the future West Bank Station, scheduled to be operational in 2014.

Light Rail Transit
Coming from downtown Minneapolis, the Airport, or Mall of America? Looking for an easy way to escape the Expo madness for a while?
The Hiawatha Line (www.metrotransit.org) makes a stop at Riverside Station, just three blocks from Midwest Mountaineering. Did I mention it's easy to find? Just continue Westbound on Riverside Ave past Cedar Ave and follow the road to the left as Riverside becomes 15th Ave South, go two blocks. Trains run at least every 15 minutes: check out the train schedule.
