Will some of the backpackers on this list contact this fellow? If there are trips planned this summer, please invite them along.

Thanks,

Jane Clark

Subject: Backpacking around Iowa City

Hi!

My friend and I want to go backpacking, and we're new to the Iowa City area and could use some insight from someone more experienced. The Iowa DNR was pretty bare bones in terms of information on areas for backpackers, and I thought someone from the local chapter of the Sierra club might be able to identify what the various backpacking options are.

Would one of your members be able to tell me if there any areas within a 300 mi. radius around Iowa City that might fit the bill for a 4 day backpacking trip?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer,

Kent L.
