Byway Highlight

Back to Top of List

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.

Native Stone

Stone barns and roughhewn fences make you realize that sometimes our most visible traditions are rooted right under our feet. Locally quarried limestone is the cornerstone of the Native Stone Scenic Byway. The beautiful blond stonework is more than an aesthetic choice in these parts, it’s a part of our history and heritage. Travelers will find this stone in all its forms, from its natural state along hillsides to its finished splendor in iconic architecture. Remember to admire the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our forefathers along the way.

Post Rock

The prairies of Kansas are filled with a quiet beauty, but our rolling hills are not naturally filled with timber-bearing trees. As this area began to transform into a haven for grazing cattle, ranchers looked to local natural resources for solutions to fencing needs. Thus, the icons of the Post Rock Scenic Byway were created. Many of these historic limestone post rocks remain as tributes to those that came before, and travelers will get to witness how history has begun to blend in with a quirky, artistic future.
