Schoneslanders have been driving the Loess Hills Scenic Byway since 2009. It’s long been one of our most popular trips. Why, you ask? Because the roads are just so damn good! These scenic, thrilling roads are only two hours from Central Iowa via Highway 44, which itself is loaded with sweeping curves and majestic vistas. This is one day of total bliss behind the wheel of your Porsche that will have you feeling exhilarated as you arrive in Sioux City, just in time to watch the Kentucky Derby with your Schonesland friends.
The big change to this year’s plan is a new location for lodging and dinner. The Warrior Hotel in downtown Sioux City is a historic grand hotel that has been restored to its legendary Art Deco interior with luxurious finishes throughout. Click on the link to see photos of this fabulous property. There is a block of 20 rooms at a fantastic rate of only $149 per night-you’ll see that’s a bargain when you see your room. Hotel reservations can be made by clicking on this this link.
We will have cocktails and dinner in the majestic Woodbury dining room. After dinner, you can party in the main bar or venture 12 stories above to the rooftop bar, with beautiful views of the city and the Missouri River. The dinner cost of $60 per person (inclusive of gratuity and tax) will be collected at the time of the registration.
You may return to Central Iowa any way you choose, but most drive the Scenic Byway back home since it’s mostly deserted on Sunday mornings. Once back on Highway 44, many choose to stop and have brunch in Harlan at a fabulous farm-to-table restaurant, Milk and Honey.
