About Flint Hills
The Flint Hills region of eastern Kansas is a unique and largely undisturbed area of rolling prairie grasslands. The range features gently sloping hills covered in native tallgrass prairie, dotted with exposed limestone and flint outcroppings. This rugged terrain was historically difficult to farm, allowing the native grasses to remain intact. The Flint Hills are known for their scenic beauty, with vibrant wildflower displays in spring and the golden hues of big bluestem grass in autumn.
