The Loess Hills are a unique area of hills and valleys that spans over 200 miles. They are predominantly in western Iowa but also cover portions of South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, and even Kansas. The soil is softer than typical soil in the region, which gives it its distinctive features. In fact, there's only one other place in the world that has hills like these and it's in China.

The Loess Hills were created around 20,000 years ago when rivers in the valley dried and westerly winds deposited this loose soil in the region, creating the hills.
