Explore the Hitchcock
Excursion Loop
This 27 mile loop on paved and gravel roads heads west on I-680 from its intersection with County Road L34. On the way is the I680 Senic Overlook, a good place to vie the Hills and the Missouri River Floodplain.
At I-29, turn north and exit immediately on Exit 72 to enter the small community of Loveland.
In Loveland, turn right (south) to take County road L20 to the south which runs along the edge of the gloodplain to honey Creek, where you enter the Hills. Less than 2 miles south of the small community of Honey Creek is the entrance to the Hitchcock Nature Area. Continue south on County Road L36, also called Coldwater Avenue, turn left (northeast) and follow this gravel road that winds through the Hills to return you to County Road L34 near the loop's start, about 8 miles away.
Allow about 40 minutes drive time.
