The Plains

Some people feel that the plains have nothing to offer when it comes to travel. I disagree. I have lived on or near the plains my entire life. I have traveled to nearly every state in the US, but I choose to live on the plains. They have their own beauty to share, a beauty that most people are trying to look beyond to see the mountains of Wyoming, the Ozarks of Missouri, or the deserts of Texas and New Mexico. But those grasses that their gazes are looking past hold a variety of natural sights that charm. The flowers that grow on the plains are a variety or colors in a variety of seasons. The wildlife that inhabit those grass covered plains often changes with the seasons. There are wildlife sanctuaries that protect the migrating birds, the American bison, and antelope that still, in some areas roam wild over the rolling hills. The plains are not just flyover states; the plains hold some of the country's prettiest natural formations and some of the most interesting tourist destinations. Don't judge the area by its reputation; come see the plains for yourself and see what adventure you'll find.
