If you have watched any sort of investigative journalism piece or the CBS Morning News in the last 50 years, there is a good chance that you are familiar with anchor Bill Kurtis, who is not only a well-respected journalist, but a Kansas boy as well. What you may not know about Kurtis, however, is that he owns half of a stunning 8,000 acre ranch in Sedan that is not only home to grass-fed cows, but a number of other magical surprises as well. Here are some of these hidden gems that you can expect to find when you visit the Red Buffalo Ranch:

There is no better place to get outside and explore than Red Buffalo, which features multiple trails with a series of surprises along the way.

While you’re hiking the trails, you may just stumble upon these peculiar rock formations that are known as “Prairie Henge” and were created by Kansas artist Stan Herd.

Don’t be surprised if you see a grass-fed cow or two (or hundreds) on the ranch, which Kurtis prides himself and his company upon.

The pièce de résistance of the Red Buffalo Ranch might just be the beautiful Butcher Falls, which is considered by many to be the most gorgeous waterfall in the state.
