A scenic excursion through Iowas Loess Hills
A scenic excursion through Iowas Loess Hills
Tranquil serenity as seen from the hill town of Castana, Iowa
Winding up and winding down through farmlands, villages and small towns. The 220 mile long is pleasant road trip along the western ridges of Iowa between Sioux City and the Missouri border.
Windmill of time
One of a few places on the planet where Loess Hill geography occurs, this scenic corridor is a trip through time, both geological and historical. The photos accompanying this text are just a few of those taken while traversing this lovely byway last week.

With so many sites and vistas along the byway, it would take multiple days or trips to visit them all. In the half-day we spent there, we hardly scratched the surface. There are a number of loop road and side-trip options that can take the adventuresome beyond the byways two-lanes of pavement into adjoining/nearby parklands, forests, grasslands, and other natural areas.

New on the site! Pionierlager Klim Woroschilow enjoyed its heyday when East Germany still existed. The good children of the socialist state were sent to youth camps for summers of fun and no doubt to help them develop a healthy distrust of the West. The distrust was warranted. Neither the children nor their country exist any more.Read all about it at:
