The Crusoe Umbrella doesn't provide much protection from the rain, but it's a fun sculpture nonetheless. Located in downtown's Nollen Plaza, near the Des Moines Civic Center.

The new High Trestle Trail Bridge between the towns of Woodward and Madrid (just north of Des Moines), is 13 stories high and over a half mile long. In fact, it's one of the largest trail bridges in the world. Here it is during the day...

Avolyn Fisher It's gorgeous at night!! Makes me think that if you drove through it at a fast enough speed at night - time travel would become possible! It's an amazing structure designed by RDG.
