Hitchcock Nature Center - Join us Tuesday, July 21st at 7:00 p.m. for the third hike of the 2020 Hitch Hike series.
Hike out Fox Run Ridge to take in the stunning views of the Missouri River valley, beautiful prairie and pasture land and catch a glimpse of our research plots.
The public is invited to attend all the hikes in this series. They are designed to introduce visitors to Hitchcock Nature Center as well as the Loess Hills. The series begins with a moderate level hike and will get progressively more challenging as we build up to a 3+ mile difficult hike in September. Water bottles, bug spray and sunblock are all recommended and please dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear.
Well behaved dogs are welcome to accompany their owners but must be leashed at all times, you must pick up and remove their waste, and you may be asked to remain toward the end of the group if there are a large number of participants. This is an educational program, disruptive pets may be asked to leave the group.
