The adventure takes place on The Nature Conservancy Zumwalt Prairie Preserve, a 33,000 acre grassland in rural Wallowa County, Oregon. It is a beautiful and inspiring landscape lush with flora and fauna, wildflowers, aspen groves, soaring raptors, elk and deer, plus rolling grasslands leading out to the horizon.
