Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve

I visited the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve yesterday. It's a beautiful place, with a sparseness that turns into rich biodiversity when you get into the heart of it. It includes a spectacular old limestone mansion, and almost 11,000 acres of prairie in the Flint Hills of Kansas. If you want to see some photos, visit here. It was a little more than a 2 hour drive from Kansas City, but it felt like we slipped back into the 1800s.
