Thank you for coming! It was great seeing everyone. And it is amazing how there is always something new to see on a trail I have been biking and walking for years!
Join us for another walk at Sycamore Trails in Johnston! This time we will include the “Fresh Cut” loop and our distance will be 1.6 miles. 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. 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.
