Loess Hills

The community of Akron anchors the northern end of the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway which begins its southward journey on Iowa Hwy. 12.  The hills gently rise out of flat fields and by the time one is just south of Westfield, the hills are higher and more sharply etched.  A short distance down the road, the Byway lies on a narrow ledge of land between the base of the hills and the Big Sioux River which is the boundary between Iowa and South Dakota.
