Description
This is a steep route at the start and finish. Fairly flat at the top. I'm not sure I saw anything that looked like a prairie on this trail. Certainly nothing to remind me of Little House on the Prairie. I was there early, so perhaps they let the prairie out later in the day. Nevertheless, it was a nice hike with great views of the surrounding farmland.
