See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby.

Ringneck Ranch®, Inc. is located on land that our family homesteaded in 1872, a time when the Cheyenne and herds of buffalo still roamed central Kansas. The ranch sits isolated in a pristine prairie valley looking out on the Blue Hills range. Keith and Debra have personally owned and have professionally operated Ringneck Ranch on the families 5th generation homestead since its inception in 1983. The operation includes over 10,000 acres of the finest native pheasant, bobwhite quail and prairie chicken habitat imaginable. Coverts, ranging from easily traversed thin strips of weeds to sprawling fields of chest-high CRP grasses, are managed with both the hunted and the hunter in mind.

This was my first pheasant hunt for my 17th birthday and I was blessed to have this amazing opportunity! I was able to go with my dad, uncle, and cousin and it was a blast!! Absolute phenomenal hunting, food, company, weather, guides, and facilities. Watching the dogs work was a real treat and possibly my favorite part~ tons of birds and never a dull moment! Thank you, Ringneck Ranch for an unforgettable experience and I hope to return soon!

We visited the Little Jerusalem area on a tour of western Kansas geology. For the most part the entire Smoky Valley Ranch/Little Jerusalem area is not open to the public since the Nature Conservancy only recently acquired the property (17,000 acres) and has not completed the necessary improvements (?) to allow public access. We were met by a representative of the Conservancy and she led a hike through the Little Jerusalem area for those hardy enough to tackle it. The area is very rough and SHOULD NOT be attempted by those with mobility issues. There are poisonous snakes in the area. My 7 year-old granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed this location but she stayed close to the tour leader and FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS.
