For the first time, visitors now have the chance to "creep" down the creeks or stroll beyond the timber trail. You decide when, where and what you would like to see. Our goal is to give you the best outdoor experience with your interests and abilities in mind. Each 2 hour program includes transportation, equipment, materials and an experienced guide. We will meet you at the Amana Colonies Visitor Center on the morning of your choice. Please contact us in advance to schedule a date and time. The activity depends on you! We can bring bug nets, pond nets, binoculars, or other equipment. You tell us what you would like to do outdoors!

Dress for the weather and for going off trail. Wear good walking shoes.
This tour is ideal for all ages. Pre-registration is required two hours prior to event. Contact Maria at 319-329-9821 or at maria@walkingstickadventures.com.
