We’ve been looking for more out-of-the-way and hidden spots around Kansas that we can escape to, even for a little while. This beautiful park almost feels like a fantasy away from the world altogether. This little park is perfect for an outing where you can relax and forget the world around you. Anyone up for a short hike?

On today's adventure, we're headed out to Camp Branch Glade in Stilwell, Kansas. Haven't heard of this place before? We don't blame you, because it's pretty small and secluded.

Inside the park is 1.5 miles of nature trails, but they are naturally formed and not paved or mulched.

The park just has one of those feelings about it, like you're in another world or some fantasy land. Like a forest from a storybook out of your childhood, this forest will relax you just the same.
