If you've never been to Effigy Mounds, it's definitely worth the trip. This national monument is located in northeastern Iowa, and it protects over 200 prehistoric mounds, including some that are shaped like animals. This fall, Effigy Mounds National Monument is offering visitors an opportunity to explore through a series of ranger-led hikes. With one of these hikes, you'll even get the chance to see the super moon.

Scheduled throughout November, these hikes will allow participants to learn more about the ancient mounds, as well as take on a fun new hiking challenge. Each hike begins and ends at the visitor center, and those who complete a hike will earn a special reward to commemorate the experience.
