It took several drives around the same parking lot, one stop to ask the parking lot security directions (he had no clue but was kind enough to suggest that if we are looking for something to do that we stop at the mall since he knows "girls like to shop"...this made Emily and I both laugh) and a lucky turn left to finally find the Mormon Handcart Park. History is that Iowa City was the farthest train point west at the time and this park was established in memorial of the many mormons that made the trek from Iowa to Utah using handcarts. It is a beautiful nature trail walk with markers to designate burial sites and campsites tucked behind the Hawkeye Rec Fields and according to Trip Advisory a must see in Iowa City. Emily and I would agree.
