Visit Boone County: Natural Wonders, Rail Rides to River Adventures
Kris Blocker, Executive Director for Visit Boone County, is our guest on the Outdoor Adventure Series today.
Kris has dedicated the past eight years to promoting Boone County, Iowa's unique charm and natural beauty. With an appreciation for the distinct landscape shaped by the Des Moines River Valley, Kris tirelessly works to highlight what sets Boone County apart from the rest of the state.
Through her efforts, Kris aims to draw attention to Boone County and Iowa's broader attractions. She showcases a region rich with hills and scenic views, from the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad and the Seven Oaks Recreation area to the serene Iowa Arboretum and Gardens.
We'll also uncover the local dining scene, historical sites, and the warm, welcoming spirit known as "Iowa Nice."
