There’s nothing like finding a great hidden trail that makes you feel like you’re entering another world. Some of Iowa’s top trails can be pretty crowded, but in most cases, you’ll feel like you left the busy world behind you and slipped into a secret natural getaway. One of those cases is the Hickory Hill Loop Trail in Iowa – located in Hickory Hill Park in Iowa City. It’s hard to believe that this park is located in one of Iowa’s biggest cities, because it feels like you’re alone with nature. This trail is 2.6 miles long and is considered an easy route – large parts of the trail are paved or on gravel, and the unpaved sections are easy to navigate for beginners. You’ll be surrounded by nature and wildlife, and you’ll come across quite a few surprises along the way.
