The Flint Hills is Kansas's most beautiful and expansive natural landmark, starting seemingly out of nowhere and extending far past what you can see with the naked eye.
An explorer named Zebulon Pike named this area the Flint Hills in his journal, speaking about the flinty limestone that makes up the bedrock of the area.
The whole Flint Hills area is filled with old barns, stone cellars, and quite a few landmarks, but many of them are off the main road. If you have a map and a good sense of direction, you'll have an amazing time out here.
Hiking and biking trails around here are our favorite way to explore, but no one's going to judge you from enjoying through your car windows. Take lots of photos!
When the skies fill with smoke, we know it's time to burn off all the evergreen sprouts and the extra grasses that could cause a wildfire or choke out the natural prairie.
If you ever get a chance to see it from the sky, maybe in a hot air balloon or a small plane, do it! See as though you're a native bird for a day, and you'll fall in love with the hills all over again.
