hiking

You’re hiking through the woods and spot a tree with red paint. What does it really mean for your outdoor adventure?

Imagine stumbling upon a bear while hiking—what do you do next? The right reaction could mean the difference between a wild tale and a disaster.

You might not even notice it, but there is an entire color-coded system marking trees along the trails you hike in the woods.

Don't even think about trying to find this tree unless you're willing to do hard time.

Iowa state parks and forests invite you to join the second annual First Day Hike Challenge.

We are fortunate to have a lot of places in Iowa where you can enjoy a good hike. One trail in particular is extra awesome as it allows you to hike through a natural cave.

Don't let anybody fool ya, there's plenty of fun things to do this fall in Iowa!

It's 300-acres big and will open soon.
