Add Flint Hills Trail State Park in Kansas to your list of walks. What’s really cool is that Rails to Trails Conservancy has named the trail to its Hall of Fame!

"It is clear why so many people rallied around the Flint Hills Trail State Park as the next Hall of Fame Trail," said Ryan Chao, RTC's president. "This trail stands out as a prime example of how trails bring joy, provide cultural and historic connection, and deliver economic opportunity—all critical to quality of life across America. This trail has catalyzed the state's trail economy and will serve as inspiration for countless communities to emulate."

The trail is 93 miles long and the longest in Kansas. A release notes it is home to one of the last remaining tallgrass prairie ecosystems in the world.
