Wander the Great Plains
Travel writing from Minnesota to Louisiana
North America's Great Plains region, which extends from the Canadian plains states of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, to the southern Mississippi River states and Mexico's northern gulf, is a broad collection of prairies, farmlands and lowlands.
