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.

The region's sweeping horizons and carpets of wildflowers captivate artists and enchant visitors.
