Thank you for coming to the Soft Trail Stroll today! I love Sycamore Trail! I had fun taking the Quarantine Line and hope you did, too.
Join us for another nice 1.3-mile walk at Sycamore Trails in Johnston! Meet by 10:00 a.m. at the gravel parking lot off of 66th Avenue, just west of the Des Moines River. We will walk slowly, think “stroll,” and no one will be left behind. Snow or no snow, there is much to see. This is a fun way to meet other people and enjoy some fresh air.
Sycamore Trails are relatively flat, owing to their location along the Des Moines River. The trail is dirt singletrack, punctuated with with roots and rocks. Hiking poles are useful, but not a necessity.
Every week or so I will lead a group walk on a different trail.
My goals for this series are to help people looking for a simple way to become more active, and to increase appreciation of our local soft trails.
What is a soft trail? Simply, it is an unpaved trail. Its surface may be dirt, grass, or crushed rock/gravel. I am an avid mountain biker and know all these trails very well. I can guarantee that no one will get lost!
Please contact me if you have any questions.
