“What is a ‘saunter’?” you say? According to Merriam-Webster, “saunter” means "to walk about in an idle or leisurely manner : STROLL" (that is, to walk at a slower pace to take in all the surroundings). That sounds better than a hike. Come out and get that “prairie feeling” from centuries past, and while you are at it, get some exercise. Prairie State Park encompasses almost 4,000 acres of tallgrass prairie, which once covered 33% of Missouri. Now, less than half of 1% remains.
 
Fall is fast approaching and it is a great time to visit. Temperatures will be cooling and the bison will be growing their winter fur before long to prepare for winter. Wildflowers are blooming and getting ready to set seed. There is a lot of activity on the prairie this time of year. Visitors should be prepared for at least a two mile saunter over uneven terrain. Since we won’t know the location of the bison until that morning, bringing water, snacks, a hat, insect repellent, sunscreen, and wearing sturdy footwear is recommended. Weather can be unpredictable, so please prepare for it. Binoculars can be useful in watching the bison and other wildlife.
 
Due to the unique and rare diversity of life preserved at Prairie State Park, pets are not allowed on park trails, EXCEPT for Path of the Earth People and Path of the Sky People trails. Bison graze freely in the park, and this regulation protects both you and your pet. You are welcome to bring your pet to the park's campground and picnic area, but must follow Missouri State Parks' pet rules. This applies to all types of pets except service animals assisting people with disabilities.
 
Registration is required, and the event is limited to 30 participants. To register, call 417-843-6711.
