Please note that this Hike for Health adventure will traverse seven or more miles of beautiful, sometimes difficult, Loess Hills terrain. Please plan ahead by bringing a light lunch.
Welcome to Hitchcock Hike for Health Club, led by level three fitness instructor and avid mountain climber, snowshoer, hiker, and master gardener Colleen Leinen!
Hitchcock Hike for Health Club is designed for visitors ages 16+.
Grab your partner or a group of friends and join us first for some light stretching and education on equipment and preparation in the Loess Hills Lodge Goldfinch Room, then hit the hilly Loess Hills trails for a guided fitness hike. If you are looking to get in tune with your body, work up a sweat, and engage with the outdoors, then this is the club for you (especially if you have a big hike or camping trip coming up!).
Please dress for the weather, wear appropriate hiking shoes or boots, and bring sun and bug protection. Make sure to bring a reusable water container. Walking poles are highly recommended if you prefer them. Hike may go longer than time posted.
