Around 15 miles west of Ames, Iowa is the community of Boone. The rich history of the city is much like a lot of the towns in Iowa, filled with mining excavations and trading opportunities. Mass mining for coal throughout the region led to the development of a railroad system. The ability to load up a train with coal and other goods was enough to make Boone platted in the mid to late 1800s.

Another reason for Boone's success as a city is due to its proximity to the Des Moines River, flowing along the western edge of town. With an endless water and fishing supply and a railroad for trading, it was quite the place to be in the early days of modern industry. Many state parks around the area welcome exploration and outdoor adventure, so what are you waiting for? Book an RV in Boone, pack up the hiking boots, and get ready for an Iowa adventure.
