Byway Highlight

Back to Top of List

Wetlands and Wildlife

The plains now filled with oceans of prairie and waves of amber grain once looked very different to ancient eyes. Kansas was once a vast inland sea filled to the brim with aquatic life. When the water receded, erosion and a little bit of luck, left behind patches of otherworldly landscapes and formations that will make your jaw drop to the former deep-sea floor. The rugged landscape of the Western Vistas Historic Byway blends with the historic, and pre-historic, to create an adventure unlike any other.

Prairie Trail

Tallgrass waving in the wind. Bison herds grazing. The chirp of crickets on a warm summer’s eve. The wild spirit of the prairie lives on in the preserved lands and the souls of those at home along the Prairie Trail Scenic Byway. Nature lovers, history buffs, and gearheads alike will find themselves immersed along the way. Captivating landscapes and curved roads make for a peaceful scenic drive, but whether you explore on two wheels or four is up to you.

Flint Hills

The prairie is a place of relaxation and unspoiled beauty for some. For others, it’s a little slice of heaven. You can’t help but admire the breathtaking scenery along the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway, but the journey is more than the rolling hills you’ll see. In these parts, the zest of small-town life is ingrained with the landscape.  And while the seasons may change the view, the steadfast communities will remain to protect this enchanting land and welcome you along the way.

Gypsum Hills

With craggily canyons and vibrant red dirt, the earth around here looks a little different. The Gypsum Hills Scenic Byway is a landscape that is straight out of a Western film. Whimsical wildflowers dot the route in the springtime, adding a burst of color to this otherworldly landscape. In the winter, a snow-covered mesa with a pop of rust-colored soil underneath feels like an unusual, but beautiful, sight. But this byway is more than a pretty face. The history of the area is preserved, and ready for you to discover.
