The hike will include a walk among green grasses and colorful flowers with an opportunity to learn more about the amazing prairie ecosystem. Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and wear long pants and sturdy shoes. The hike will last about two hours and cover approximately 1.6 miles.
The Wildflower Walk is also a great opportunity to log miles as a part of the Governor’s 100 Missouri Miles challenge.
To celebrate Missouri’s distinction as the “Best Trails State” by American Trails and to encourage Missourians to enjoy the outdoors, Governor Jay Nixon and First Lady Georganne Nixon are inviting Missourians to join them in completing 100 Missouri Miles of outdoor physical activity by the end of the year.
