Beautiful place!

The Flint Hills are one of Kansas’ most breathtaking hidden gems. Hike through the Tallgrass Prairie, chase Flint Hills waterfalls, and watch the sunset roll across miles of open prairie — then unwind at the beautifully restored Historic Elgin Hotel in Marion.

Refuel with an amazing meal at Parlour 1886, located right inside the hotel.
