We love Kansas, and the natural beauty that surprises us at every turn. However, there's no place we love more than our very own Flint Hills in Kansas. Here's a series of beautiful images that capture all sorts of views these hills offer. Come take a look!

The Flint Hills is Kansas's most beautiful and expansive natural landmark, starting seemingly out of nowhere and extending far past what you can see with the naked eye.

According to what we can find, it's the most dense area of intact tallgrass prairie in North America.

It's a good thing we love and take care of it so much! Though, when it looks like this, why wouldn't we?

An explorer named Zebulon Pike named this area the Flint Hills in his journal, speaking about the flinty limestone that makes up the bedrock of the area.

Today, you can see the rock all over, from cutouts where we've built highways to naturally broken chunks laying just about everywhere.

In addition to limestone, you're also going to come across plenty of small aquatic fossils.

The scenic beauty here can't be compared to any other area of our beautiful state.

To us, every road trip going through Kansas should include this natural beauty. Luckily, much of it can be seen from your vehicle.

The whole Flint Hills area is filled with old barns, stone cellars, and quite a few landmarks, but many of them are off the main road. If you have a map and a good sense of direction, you'll have an amazing time out here.

The Fox Creek schoolhouse is a great stop, where you can see reenactments of period school sessions.

Hiking and biking trails around here are our favorite way to explore, but no one's going to judge you from enjoying through your car windows. Take lots of photos!

When the skies fill with smoke, we know it's time to burn off all the evergreen sprouts and the extra grasses that could cause a wildfire or choke out the natural prairie.

Even in a wildfire or a controlled burn, this area is simply gorgeous.

If you ever get a chance to see it from the sky, maybe in a hot air balloon or a small plane, do it! See as though you're a native bird for a day, and you'll fall in love with the hills all over again.

No matter how or when you enjoy the gorgeous Flint Hills, remember how beautiful Kansas is when you get to know it. Enjoy your travels!
