Most of Kanza is closed to visitors with out a guide. but there are several miles of nature trails that are open to the public. On the trails you get a chance to see the prarie as it was when settlers first came to this region. If you have the time requste a guide a take a tour of the Bison enclosure, or the west loop trail which highligts soom of the reaserch projects.

One of the highlights of my Manhattan stay. I felt like I was going back in time as I hiked through wilddlowers and tall grass up to a windy ridge overlooking the rolling hills. I saw wild turkey, jackrabbits and heard a symphony of birds. My heartfelt thanks to the people who have created and maintain this wonderful reserve.
