Known for its enthralling rolling plains, cornfields, and quintessential American culture, Iowa should be at the top of everyone's travel wish list. One of our favorite Iowa treks is the Great River Road and its countless nature preserves and Native American settlements along the Mississippi River. The Loess Hills National Scenic Byway is a close second, with tons of wineries and breweries in the region to enjoy.
Some of Iowa's most popular attractions include Arnolds Park Amusement Park, Lake Okoboji, the High Trestle Trail, and the Driftless Area Scenic Byway. Its state capital, Des Moines, is also an underrated tourist attraction. It is home to a hearty downtown Farmer's Market and the Iowa State Fairgrounds, one of the nation's most significant summer fairground events.
