 According to an account written in 1852 , passengers disembarked at Minneapolis or St. Paul and " [ from there traveled by ] stagecoach for what was called the ' grand tour . ' It consisted of a drive from St. Paul to St. Anthony , then out to Lakes Harriet and Calhoun , thence to the Minnehaha Falls and Fort Snelling , and by the Spring Cave [ probably " Fountain Cave " ] to St. Paul , arriving in time for the visitors , if in haste , to return with the boat down the river .
