Hike Robinson Bird Sanctuary

Waterloo, Iowa

1.2 mi / 36 ft gain

This year for Earth day, I decided to hike one of my favorite trails near Waterloo, Robinson Bird Sanctuary.

On the opposite side of the street is the entran...

Hike the McFarland Park Loop

Ames, Iowa

5 mi / 300 ft gain

After parking in the main lot by the Story County Conservation building, you can choose between two starting points.

The south unit is less used and less popular, but...
