Soft Trail Stroll: Center Trails Hillside/Fingers Loop

Join us for an enjoyable stroll on one of our hilliest routes! 🌄 We'll explore the Hillside Trail at Center Trails in Des Moines. 📍

Meeting Point: Ashworth Pool parking lot at the end of 45th Street by 10:00 a.m. ⏰
This scenic walk takes us through the outer loop of Hillside, returning via Fingers and Philly’s Pholly, totaling 2.3 miles. If the trails are muddy, we'll opt for paved paths around the lagoon instead. 🚶‍♂️🌿

Expect a relaxed pace—think “stroll”! No one will be left behind. The Hillside Trail is a dirt singletrack, with roots and rocks, so hiking poles can be handy but are not essential. 🥾

This free Soft Trail Stroll series is perfect for anyone looking for a simple way to become active. It welcomes all ages (and leashed dogs!) who fancy a stroll! 🐕‍🦺

We aim to increase appreciation of our local soft trails. But what is a soft trail? It's simply an unpaved trail, which may be dirt, grass, or crushed rock/gravel.

As an avid mountain biker who knows these trails well, I can guarantee no one will get lost! 🧭
