Weekend Adventures

Posted on July 17, 2013 at 10:00 AM by Kerri Sorrell

Design intern Kerri here. This last weekend, I ventured out in the field to shoot some video for our INHF library – of trails, waterways and beautiful Iowa landscapes! My adventures took me to Chichaqua Bottoms Greenbelt in Maxwell, IA, Gray’s Lake Park in Des Moines, and Saylorville Lake and Big Creek State Park, both near Polk City. After working hard in the office all week, it’s always refreshing to get out and enjoy all that Iowa’s outdoors have to offer.

I snapped a few photos along the way:
