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.
Embrace the magic of a midsummer night and celebrate the summer solstice in style with Pie Bird Pies and Wander Women! Join us for a captivating evening stroll along the picturesque banks of the Des Moines River, nestled amidst the serene maple and cottonwood woodlands. As the sun sets on the longest day of the year, we’ll gather at our riverside camp to indulge in a delectable spread of camp-perfect s’mores hand pies and campfire cocktails.
About the pie, from Kristen of Pie Bird Pies: Enjoy these crowd-favorite s’mores hand pies: gooey, toasted marshmallow and milk and dark chocolate between buttery pie crust. YUM.
About the campfire cocktails/mocktails: For this Pike, we’re making a few of our favorite lemonades that pair perfectly with a splash of gin or whiskey, if you’re wanting a cocktail. This lemonade is the real deal: freshly-squeezed lemons, cane sugar, and plenty of ice, for a tart and sweet refreshment. Have a glass of strawberry rhubarb lemonade (add a splash of gin, if you’d like!) or enjoy a dill pickle lemonade (with a splash of whiskey, if you’d like!).
