Open year-round, the hiking and horseback trails beckon with views of prairie vistas and chalk bluffs. Take the one mile loop or the five mile loop at the Nature Conservancy’s Smoky Valley Ranch and enjoy the rugged terrain of the short grass prairie. Come often to catch the seasonal changes of the prairie. Wear boots and watch where you walk – there are rattlesnakes in the area. There is no water or restroom facilities available.
