Silo already mentioned. Rock at Pictured Rocks, and if you're in the Iowa City area, close by at Kepler Palisades on the Cedar River; also Backbone State Park and a few other spots, see web listings. (From Des Moines it may be a bit leaner in possibilities.)
A fine pair of hikes in NE Iowa at the two units of Effigy Mounds nat'l monument.
It may be minimal but it's not hopeless or completely unrewarding.
