Trailblazer Bonanza New Trail Celebration at Hitchcock Nature Center

Pottawattamie Conservation is adding four new trails to Hitchcock Nature Center's trail system in the beautiful Loess Hills of Iowa and we need YOUR help blazing them! Visitors of all ages are invited to join Pottawattamie Conservation and the Loess Hills Nordic Ski Patrol for a public ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. at Hitchcock Nature Center's Loess Hills Lodge with guided hikes to follow. Event Schedule:

- Presentation and Ribbon Cutting at the Loess Hills Lodge: 1:00 p.m.
- Guided Hikes: Approximately 1:30 p.m.
- Guided hikes to explore each new trail will take place immediately following the public presentation and ribbon cutting.

Visitors should plan for hikes to take approximately 2 hours with each trail offering varying levels of difficulty. What to bring: Visitors should come prepared with proper hiking shoes, a reusable water bottle, and a passion for adventure! Please be sure to dress for the weather. It is advised to wear a hat and long socks to avoid ticks.
