Kansas is known for its prairies, but now we’re connecting you to an ancient wonder of the prairie, Little Jerusalem Badlands, Kansas’ most dramatic Niobrara chalk formation. Take a step back in time. Imagine a vast sea, waves crashing, water as far as the eye can see. Now, fast forward nearly 85 million years. The ocean is gone, and what’s left behind has been drawing the eyes of people from across the region. “My sister came to visit from Austin and we said, ‘You need to come and see Little Jerusalem,’” said tourist Adrian Price. Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park is Kansas’ newest state park. This is its first summer to be open to the public. Some say it got its name because it resembles the ancient walled city of Jerusalem.
