Let’s return to Grandview Park. It is a 60-acre park with several parking lots. Park in the small lot along East 32nd Street just north of Guthrie Avenue. We will leave from there at 10:00 a.m.The standard nature trail loop through the woods and disc golf course is 1.7 miles.
If the nature trail is muddy, we will walk only on the pavement. Either way, we will walk slowly, think “stroll,” and no one will be left behind.
Most of the route is dirt singletrack, punctuated with roots and rocks. Hiking poles are useful, but not a necessity.

I lead group walks on different trails in the Des Moines area a few times a month. This free Soft Trail Stroll series is designed to help people looking for a simple way to become more active. The events are for people of all ages (and dogs on leashes)—anyone who fancies a stroll!
The second purpose is to increase appreciation of our local soft trails. What is a soft trail? Simply, it is an unpaved trail. Its surface may be dirt, grass, or crushed rock/gravel. I am an avid mountain biker and know all these trails very well. I can guarantee that no one will get lost!
