Smoky Valley Ranch Trailhead

Logan County, Kansas

Look for a parking area and kiosk on the east side of the road. Two trail loops begin here, one is five-and-a-half miles long and the other is one mile. The trails are difficult to discern, but it's a beautiful walk. In this area, owned by the Nature Conservancy, the main features are the chalk bluffs and shortgrass prairie. Keep your eyes open for swift foxes, pronghorns, rattlesnakes (see if you can find it in the gallery photos), and other wildlife.
