What do you get when you combine the two best things in the world, pies and hikes? Pikes! Join Wander Women and Pie Bird Pies on the tastiest collaboration nature’s ever seen as we wander through our favorite parks in Central Iowa and enjoy Des Moines’ best pies! Seriously, if you haven’t tried Pie Bird Pies yet, you’re in for a life-changing treat.
Is there anything more perfect than hiking with friends and then enjoying a pie picnic in a lilac arboretum? We can’t think of anything! Join us for a perfect spring Pike celebrating the beauty of blooming lilacs, the middle of spring, and perfect evenings! We’ll hike the trails of Ewing Park on Des Moines’s south side before enjoying a pie picnic after in the most hidden of gems in Des Moines, the Ewing Park Lilac Arboretum!
About the pie, from Kristen of Pie Bird Pies: It’s rhubarb season!!! Each participant will enjoy a slice of strawberry rhubarb or bluebarb (blueberry rhubarb) pie with Pie Bird's famous vanilla bean mascarpone whipped cream! We'll also be sipping on mixed berry lavender lemonade, a crowd favorite!
