Activities
What To Do At the Clover Cliff Ranch
Vast open spaces provide guests with any number of options to enjoy nature at her best. Rolling
hills and Bluestem grass framed by an open sky invite visitors to relax, breathe fresh air and
take a break from all things stressful.
Guests enjoy sunrises and sunsets. On most nights, except when weather interferes, visitors can
gaze at stars that are much brighter in an open sky away from city lights.
Watching and listening to birds from the front porch or out on a hiking trail is another experience
to enjoy. Sounds of nature are everywhere - constant reminders that all creatures great and small
call this place home.
Nature lovers enjoy photographing wildflowers out in the hills, beside streams or in and around
rock formations. Folks who like to retreat indoors can curl up with a good book, eat cookies
and snacks, sip a frosty cold drink, enjoy a cup of coffee, play games or even take a nap.
Guided horseback rides through the Flint Hills provide a unique opportunity to view the breathtaking Flint Hills. Call ahead for cost information and reservations.
Disc golfing guests at the Bed and Breakfast are welcome to play the on-site 18-hole course. The
rugged terrain creates a challenge for even experts on the circuit. Hiking enthusiasts also like
to follow the trail - approximately 3 miles, for a rigorous workout. Call for details, including dates
when tournament participants have exclusive use of the course. (620-343-0621)
