Join us for a guided hike on the Konza Prairie Nature Trail. This hike is 2.6 miles through the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie and you'll see the amazing geology of the area and learn about the natural history of the plants and animals living here. Knowledgeable volunteers will share their knowledge with the Girl Scouts and give them a chance to experience the wide open vistas of the tallgrass prairie just like the pioneers saw it 150 years ago.
