Sioux City’s Stone State Park | FIND Iowa

The Loess Hills are the iconic landscape of Western Iowa. Stone State Park in Sioux City is a great place to explore these natural giants. While exploring, you might catch a glimpse of some familiar critters and some very unique plants, including one that is more typical of the Southwest United States and Mexico than it is of Western Iowa. What could allow for this plant to grow so far away from its typical home?
