Let's Hike the KU Field Station Trails

Join Compass Point home of Dirty Girl Adventures for some time on the trail! We'll hike all of the KU Field Station trails together! There are about 5 miles of trail here with some great views and varied terrain. We will visit the Rockefeller Prairie and the Fitch Natural History Reservation as part of this hike. There is some paved trail here, but the majority of the trail surface is uneven and features some steep inclines and declines. We will plan to hike 5 miles but should you wish to hike a shorter distance we will be able to show you the short cut out at about 3 miles. This location is north of Lawrence, specific directions will be emailed on Friday. We will park at the RothTrailhead and loop back to end there.

Dirty Dudes and Dirty teens are invited on this event. No dogs allowed for this event - the Field Station doesn't allow dogs due to research.
