About this Event

Dirty Girl Adventures Presents: The Konza Prairie in Spring

Compass Point, home of Dirty Girl Adventures, invites you to join us for a unique spring time experience on the Konza Prairie!

For 2026, we’re on a mission to visit the Konza Prairie Biological Station in all four seasons. Our goal is to deepen our Prairie experience and knowledge by intentionally observing and embracing the prairie's beauty every season of the year.

This is our second seasonal hike and we expect to see all the signs of SPRING! The prairie is beautiful year-round, in May we expect to see spring blooms and new growth in all of the awakening prairie.

Plan to join us:

  • Meet-up: 2 PM at the Konza Prairie parking lot
  • The Hike: We will choose the distance on the day of the hike. There are three loop options, ranging from 1.5 to 4.6 miles—perfect for tailoring to conditions and preferences.
  • Post-hike we may venture to a local eatery or pub for post hike socializing.

Come share the journey as we intentionally visit, observe, and compare the distinct seasons of the Konza in 2026!

Where: Check in at the Konza Prairie Trail parking area (specific directions will be emailed 24 hours before the event)

What: Guided group hiking with information about the trails and the local flora and fauna.

Bring/Wear: Watch the weather, hat, bandana, trekking poles, shoes with good tread. BUG SPRAY!

Regular cost: $30

Club cost: $25
