The Flint Hills of Kansas


by Jeff M

Jumping off the official path, I crossed over into the Red House Pasture. This is where the land, like the trusting lover, reveals itself. Soon the ground broke open and the limestone emerged, like spots on a leopard. I was pleased to discover that the National Park Service, accompanied by many other organizations, plan to reintroduce a herd of bison into this pasture in the next few years.
