This BLOG exists to promote the FLINT HILLS OF KANSAS as a tourism destination for experiential tourists who seek a new place to visit, a place to enjoy and appreciate nature, history and culture while maintaining the environment unchanged for the enjoyment of those who come after us.
Rural economic development to sustain the Flint Hills environment, heritage and culture is a direct benefit of being a tourism destination.
See a very useful and description blog at: http://naturesblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/permian-swath.html on the Permian Swath that is a Kansas Flint Hills distinctive feature. Thanks to Naturalist Robert Folzenlogen for a very clear explanation.
