Trail Overview

This trail is sublime, unfolding over well-maintained gravel that shows few potholes or bumps as it winds through green rolling hills with gentle ascents and descents. Scattered farms dot the landscape, and the route crosses several creeks beneath a canopy of trees. There are no designated or dispersed campsites, and you will find no trash disposal or water facilities along the way. Cell service is limited, so check your onX app for coverage details.

Difficulty

The trail is well-maintained and routinely graded to support a range of local use, from daily agricultural traffic by farmers.

History

This route traces the historic heartland of the Flint Hills, a region that has remained largely untouched by modern agriculture due to its shallow, rocky soils--making it one of the last strongholds of North America's tallgrass prairie. The trails crosses land with deep cultural roots--from Native American hunting grounds to working cattle ranches. Expect long views over tallgrass prairie, passing ghost towns, century-old barns, and scenic byways that have carried generations of ranchers and travelers alike.
