If you’ve never seen the Loess Hills up close and personal, it’s time that you head west and enjoy this true Iowa marvel.

The beautiful Loess Hills comprises more than 650,000-acres and provides refuge for 49 species of rare plants and animals. You might even spot a few American bison!

With picturesque landscapes and breathtaking views, this unique natural area is perfect for an afternoon in nature regardless of the season.
