Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is located in east central Kansas
near Strong City. The area is in the Flint Hills. The dynamic horizon
with rolling hills, trees, and waving grasses are picturesque
in any weather. When lightning flashes in the distance and black clouds
roll over the hills, or sun lights the grasses and the colors of wildflowers pop, or snow blows over the contoured land drifting against
fences, brush, and the occasional boulder the prairie is a spectacular sight. The Preserve has a shuttle
that will carry you out to picturesque spots, or you can choose to hike
the road that winds through the preserve past various wildflowers and
grass that can reach your shoulders. There is also a historic house at
the gate of the preserve and a history of those that lived there. While
the house is beautiful and the history is fascinating, nothing is more
breathtaking than the sight of the rolling hills and the feel of the
cool breeze rushing across the waving grass.
