NEW Konza Wildflower Walk • Riley County
Konza Prairie Biological Station • 100 Konza Prairie Lane • Manhattan, KS • Map
Sun, Jun 6th @ 6:30pm
Join us on the evening of Sunday, June 6th at 6:30 pm to hike the gorgeous and secluded Butterfly Hill Trail at Konza Prairie. This trail is normally off-limits to the public and, during mid-spring, is resplendent with native wildflowers and butterflies. The 1.5 mile hike is easy and marked - you'll be put into groups of 10 people, each with a guide. If you wish to turn around, flags along the trail make back-tracking easy. Expect to see a sunset on the tallgrass prairie with golden light illuminating up to 50 different species of flowers. Join us! No reservations needed - $10/person or free to members of the Friends of Konza Prairie.
