Winter Hike
Heart of Iowa Nature Trail, Story County
Thursday, January 20, 2022
We will meet where the trail crosses S Vine Street. Park on the east side of the road only. All hikes and departures are from the meeting areas and begin at 1:30 PM.
Cold, windy and sometimes wet or icy conditions should be expected. Layering with wicking clothes, wearing a wind and water-resistant jacket, gloves and hat, ski poles or walking stick, cleats for your shoes or even snowshoes can be useful depending on conditions. Please leave your dog warm and at home for these winter hikes.
Unless otherwise notified; the hikes go on as long as long as the weather or other conditions are safe and the roads are open. We may however, wrap things up earlier than 3:30 PM under harsh conditions.
All hikes would normally end with a "picnic" of shared food, but, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, it would be best bringing your own treats for now or store bought individually packaged food.
The winter hikes are led by an Outdoor Alliance of Story County volunteer.
Register by January 19th at 11 pm.
