Today was another beautiful day in southwest Michigan! A golden opportunity to visit the Kalamazoo Nature Center.
This time I focused on the Tallgrass Prairie Trail. Which is located just south of the main entrance to the Kalamazoo Nature Center, along North Westnedge Ave.
This stone wall is along the Kalamazoo Valley Trail, bordering the Tallgrass Prairie.
Trees line either side of the tail towards the end of the Tallgrass Trail.
This stately farmhouse sets along the Tallgrass Prairie Trail, close to North Westnedge Ave. It's not too difficult to imagine the past generations who lived here.
Wide-open acres have allowed the wind to curve this section of grass!
This weather station is along the beginning of the Trail, accentuating the Nature Center's on-going commitment to science and learning.
There are several bird homes within the Tallgrass Prairie.
The Kalamazoo Nature Center's Tallgrass Prairie Trail is about two miles long. (At least the way that I walk it!) There are a few moderate hills to give your calves a workout. And ample opportunity to view the Kalamazoo River valley from hawk-soaring heights!
It features an exceptional way-past-the-tree line view of the Kalamazoo Valley that is guaranteed to take your breath away!
There are also a few other trails that cross along the Tallgrass Prairie route.
All-in-all it's a great way to spend an hour, or two outside!
Many thanks to the Kalamazoo Nature Center for preserving such a wonderful, calm antidote to stressful times!
