June Hitch Hike
Hitchcock Nature Center, Pottawattamie County
Tuesday, June 15, 2021
Join us Tuesday, June 15th at 7:00 p.m. for the second hike of the 2021 Hitch Hike series. Take a closer look at some of Hitchcock's best prairie remnants as you are guided along Badger Ridge. Discover purple coneflowers and other early summer wildflowers and get an idea of what the hills may have looked like during the time of Lewis and Clark.
The public is invited to attend all the hikes in this series. They are designed to introduce visitors to Hitchcock Nature Center as well as the Loess Hills. The series will start with a more moderate trail and work towards a healthy, 3+ mile hike by the end of the series in September. Water bottles, bug spray, & sunblock are all recommended, please dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear.
Well behaved dogs are permitted to accompany their owners but they must be leashed at all times, you must pick up and remove their waste, and you may be asked to remain toward the rear of the group if there is a large number of participants. This is an educational program, disruptive pets may be asked to leave the group.
