Foliage

We made the trip to Pikes Peak to view the fall foliage. Normally it's very beautiful this time of year. However, because of the bad weather Iowa has been having, the foliage was quite disappointing. The lookout points, at the park, give you a good...More

Beautiful park with great views

Great views, nice campground

We tent camped here during a weekend getaway. The RVs in the campground overwhelmed the few of us in tents, and some groups were noisier than I like, but overall it was a good overnight on a bluff above the Mississippi. Showers were clean. The...More

Stunning view

Breathtaking views. Wish I would’ve waited a few more weeks to see the color changes in fall. Not a far walk at all for the best views. Bridal Falls was pretty cool but the showstopper is definitely the views from the bluff which is a...More

Wondering what week may be best for peak colors, know it is a crap shoot for predicting color but am flying into Iowa in October for a few days. Can be flexible on dates: either October 8-14 or October 17-24. Thanks

Most states have a color monitoring website you can check where they make a guess at when the color will develop. I don't know if Iowa has one, but you should look for it.
