Located between
Emporia and Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, the Grandview Ranch is home to
Kansas Flint Hills Adventures and
Jan Jantzen, a Flint
Hills naturalist
and your personal guide to the Kansas tallgrass prairies.
The
emphasis is on fun and educational experiences, which grow out of a deep
respect for the land, plants, animals, and the rural traditions and
people of the Flint Hills.
Ride the high open
pastures and shady woodland trails of Grandview Ranch and blend with
the wind, sky, and grass of the Flint Hills of Kansas. See the
tallgrass prairies on private trail rides atop our
seasoned trail horses. We offer an experience that is not the
usual nose to tail trail ride! This is one
of the most enjoyable horseback tours in
Kansas.
Feel the heat and see the beauty in a day and night burn of
controlled prairie wildfires as covered on page one of the
Wall
Street Journal, it was also featured in
more magazine April 2004: “Adventure:
Fifty ways to test your limits – from sleeping under the sea to
meditating with monks”, and on National Public Radio's "Motley
Fool". This is an amazing opportunity to participate in
the cycle of renewal necessary to these grasslands. Limit of 40
participants.
Guided wildflower
tours are available spring through fall. See nature’s beautiful
pharmacy and all organic food store growing around you! I addition
your knowledgeable guide's tallgrass prairie interpretation will
explain the cultural and natural history of the Flint Hills of Kansas
from the geological beginnings to the early cattle drives and the
present farming and ranching
practices.
Plan your own experiences for your family, friends, or
management team. Retreats, parties, reunions, to include the finest in
farm and working ranch exploration, meals, music, hiking, wildflower,
bird watching, and riding tours.
Come Enjoy this Land of Flint, Fire and
Grass!
