Take a scenic walk in central Iowa.
The High Trestle Trail Bridge was built in 1913 and features six overlooks with interpretive signs highlighting the area's cultural and natural history. There are 41 steel frames over the bridge that represent support cribs within a historic coal mine. At sunset, the bridge lights up with blue lights and marks the location of the main river channel below. They light up the High Trestle Trail Bridge nightly from sunset to midnight April through October. During the off-season (November through March(, the lights turn off at 9 pm.
The High Trestle Trail Bridge is 40 meters (13 stories) high, and it is about half a mile long. This central Iowa bridge has lovely views of the Des Moines River Valley below. Feel free to continue exploring the trail past the bridge; it runs for 25 miles, passing through five towns and four counties. The trail has multiple entry points, making it ideal for cyclists. If you need a place to stretch your legs while passing through Iowa, head to the High Trestle Trail Bridge.
