  • Fall this year in Iowa has been beautiful. We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather and spend the morning at Jester Park. We’ve never been there before, so this was a nice, short trip. We were excited to see the elk and bison in the park, and the timing was perfect to where we got great views of the elk.

    It was pretty chilly and everyone was ready for breakfast, so we only explored a small bit of the trails. We’ll be coming back here for sure.
