Join us for a moonlit hike and gathering to celebrate the full moon and connect to each other and ourselves as we dive deep into the topic of menstruation and cycles! For so long, the topic of menstruation and the role it plays in our lives has been shamed or overlooked, and we're thrilled to partner with Planned Parenthood to spend time outdoors, talk some real talk about our cycles, and build community!
Is there anything more perfect than hiking with friends and then enjoying a pie picnic in a lilac arboretum? Absolutely not. 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!
Step into a perfect spring evening at our Woodland Twilight Tea Party, a magical night of nature, community, and simple pleasures. Together with Mary from Red Dragon Herbs & Teas, we’re throwing a beautiful tea party celebrating the flavors of the season and the renewal we all get by spending beautiful evenings outdoors.
The first Eastern Iowa hike was so nice, we’re doing another!

Guides Carolyn and Louise will be ready with all the nerdy nature facts your heart could dream of!
Join us for an urban hike through forest-y Beaverdale as you learn the basics of how to identify any tree you encounter! We’re partnering with Trees Forever, one of our favorite nature loving non-profits, to host a super educational and hands on hike that’ll inspire you to look more closely at the trees in your neighborhood and beyond.
Welcome to our warmer months monthly hike series: Golden Hour Hikes! Come revel in the beauty of the early evening as we hike together, make new outdoor friends and enjoy how the changing light shifts the landscape. Celebrate longer evenings, more daylight and the slower pace of nature.
