Prairie State Park-Bison KSG
Our corner of the world offers many interesting adventures, if they know where to look.
One of these is the bison saunter at Prairie State Park, near Mindenmines, MO.
These are ranger-led hikes to see the bison – from a safe distance away. (We wouldn’t want you to end up like some of the folks at Yellowstone N.P.)
I recently participated in one of these jaunts across the prairie. Not only did we get an excellent view of most of the furry beasts that roam the not-quite-4,000 acres, but the ranger leading the trek also shared insights into traditional uses of bison. (The list is long!) He also talked about the wildflowers and other wildlife we spotted!
These hikes happen every month except October. You do need to sign up in advance for the free event.
