Excellent article! I don’t know what it is about the Flint Hills that fascinates me either, but something about it sure has a hold on me.

Dinesh,
The spring is a great time to visit. The grass won’t be very tall, but you can see the shape of the hills better and the rock outcrops along the terraces. For itineraries, I would suggest seeing http://kansasflinthills.travel.

If you send me your address by email (see “Contact Me” above) I will send you some brochures and a visitors guide to the Flint Hills. I promise I won’t send anything else.

I should write about a weekend away. If you visit the Flint Hills blog http://flinthillsofkansas.blogspot.com/, you should find some notices on upcoming events.

Flint hills looks like a beautiful place to visit. Is Spring a good time to visit or will it have to be Summer or late spring? I am currently reading on the web about Flint hills and am hoping to visit sometime. Would like to know the best way to plan the itinerary and spend time seeing and visiting some landscapes there. I would appreciate if you can make a post on Planning a weekend get away and places to see and visit at flint hills. If you already have one, please do point me to it.

Feel free to link away. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed visiting your blog too.

If anyone likes huskies, then go see The Army of Four’s blog (click on the name in the previous comment). They are some gorgeous dogs.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog – and clearing up the mystery about sumac! I don’t know why it appeals to Zim quite so much, and no I don’t let him eat them, but oh, how he tries!
I’d love to link to your blog in our sidebar, if that’s OK. Your words and photos are just beautiful!

Enjoyed this post. The Flint Hills are so peaceful. While we don’t live in the Hills (wish we did), I always treasure our visits there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

As I grow older, I appreciate more and more the untouched landscape, which is becoming increasingly more rare.

I love your description of the Flint Hills as inviting. I feel peaceful when I look at the prairie and walk through it.

Thanks for sharing, Bob. I’m impressed by the 30 years as a ranch cowboy. I will look for the books you mention on your Web site. They sound like they’re full of great stories.

Working as a ranch cowboy for over thirty years, I know exactly what you mean. There are many such places around the great American West. People just don’t notice them because they are in too much of a hurry to reach the next vestige of “civilization.”
