Hills in Kansas?
Yes, Kansas has the rolling Flint Hills where you'll see tall grass prairie, limestone outcroppings, and a sky that goes on forever. I grew up nearby and my mother spent her childhood in the Flint Hills. We love the sweeping vistas and subtle folds of the Flint Hills area.

Kansas Ready-Made Adventures - Flint Hills
Soaring and diving from hilltop to valley along one of the quiet country highways through the Flint Hills will quickly challenge your notions of prairie. The continent's largest remaining tract of tallgrass is also one of America's unique places, harboring a wealth of adventure, beauty, and history. The region's sweeping horizons and carpets of wildflowers captivate artists and enchant visitors.

- I love the flint hills and live not too far north of where they begin. Anyone who thinks Kansas is flat and featureless has never seen the flint hills. Wonderful lens!! 5-fave-lensroll.
