Post Rock Scenic Byway

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.
