The leaves are turning and we’re gonna look at them, friends! Join us for a lovely fall hike through the changing trees and rejoice in the splendor of color and beauty of the fall woods. We’ll do a little tree identification and a lot of admiring as we learn what trees turn what colors during the fall. After our hike, we’ll gather for some fall tea.

It’s a modern day treasure hunt! Grab your sprout and head out on an urban adventure to find hidden geocaches around Des Moines! This event will teach you the basics of geocaching and let you put your new skills to the test as we hunt down hidden treasures. Suitable for sprouts aged 7-10.

It’s soup season, y’all! Embrace the cooler months with our most popular food-motivated series, Soup Hikes! We’ll kick things off with a scenic hike through the trails of Jester Park. After our trek through the trees, it’s time to warm up with a well-earned soup lunch. Think hearty bowls of seasonal goodness — perfect for fueling those post-hike stories around the table.

On the ‘Pause Hike, we’re reframing perimenopause and menopause not as an ending, but as the start of a new adventure. For some, this adventure feels like a gentle walk in the park. For others, it can be the uphill climb of a lifetime. No matter how steep or smooth the path, we don’t have to walk it alone. Join us for a hike and campfire for a night of discussion and community.
