The Beginners Guide To Exploring Iowa. Art Around Des Moines. The (Not) High Trestle Trail. I was unbelievably excited to travel the High Trestle Trail. It’s a 25-mile bike trail through five small Iowa towns and four counties. What I was most feverish for was the 13-story high bridge running over the Des Moines River Valley. For you Iowa skeptics, it’s actually one of the largest trail-bridges in the world with 41 steal frames standing over the bridge. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

https://estherburgeson.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/crystal-lake-cave-of-dubuque-iowa
The Beginners Guide To Exploring Iowa. Art Around Des Moines. Crystal Lake Cave of Dubuque, Iowa. The cave was discovered in 1868 by lead miners. In the 1930’s a business-savvy Bernard Markus dug tunnels through the cave and paved walkways in order to charge for guided tours. A stalagmite reaches up to a stalactite.

The Beginners Guide To Exploring Iowa. Art Around Des Moines. Grotto Of The Redemption. The Grotto – another bucket list item inspired by Courtney Haag. It’s located in West Bend, Iowa, which is about an hour drive from Courtney’s (my roommate) hometown, Ledyard, Iowa. After our visit to Ledyard this past weekend we stopped at The Grotto on the way back to Des Moines. It’s actually a series of 9 grottos, each depicting an important scene from the Bible. The combination of caves and colomns encircle a...

The Beginners Guide To Exploring Iowa. Art Around Des Moines. Best part about watching ICubs? The delicious pairing of an Iowa Craft Beer. Anywhoo, the old stadium was demolished 72 days after my birthday on September 10. The ICubs are the triple-A affiliate team of the Chicago Cubs. Triple-A teams are often also called farm teams. And really, where better a place for a farm-team than Iowa? Curious if there are more great triple-A affiliate team names? I was I researched some comically spot-on names, and...
