9 Trails In Kansas You Must Take If You Love The Outdoors
Fall is just around the corner, and what better way to enjoy the cooler, not-so-miserably-humid temperatures than by exploring a few of the incredible trails that call Kansas “home”? Here are 9 of these trails that are a must-do for all outdoor lovers:
This 7-mile, multi-use trail is full of rugged terrain, awe-inspiring landscape (complete with cactus and sage), and a unique opportunity to travel below an Ogallala formation.
Pick one of the three colors and follow the designated trail over babbling brooks, rugged stone staircases and various eco-systems, including shaded forests and open prairie.
Take a hike through caves, boulder fields and steep stone slabs on this advanced (albeit awesome) trail.
This 5-mile, multi-purpose trail is a feast for the senses with the sights of copper-colored rocks, sounds of singing native birds and the sweet smells of fresh air.
Stroll along the serene waters of Clinton Lake at this unexpected paradise.
Whether you hike, bike, or kayak, you will want to experience the rolling hills and rocky terrain of Wilson Lake's favorite resident.
The nearly 3-mile hike along the colorful Flint Hills showcases a variety of scenery including ranchlands, native wildflowers (as far as the eye can see) and rocky ridges.
The multi-use trail, located at Kanopolis State Park, offers both easy and difficult trails. (Fair warning: the difficult trail has three deep water crossings and narrow spots throughout the rocky canyons.)
This Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve trail lives up to its name with 300 foot climbs, stunning vistas and out-of-this-world valley views.
