The Hike AppTo locate the start of the tour, take Stone Barn Road west from Lowden Road to the dead end. A good place to park is on the right (north) shoulder of the road before the Hook Larson Prairie gate (a heavy bison gate). The vegetation there is just lawn. The tour starts at the dead end of the road, about 100 feet west.
