Sometimes you don’t want to distract yourself on a particularly nice drive, because the scenery is just so beautiful. You’d rather sit back, relax, and watch the scenery roll past your windows. Well, this trip is simply perfect for that! In addition to wonderful scenery, there’s also a few places you can stop and explore the beauty within them as well.

Driving through the same areas that it once took us days to travel is something they could never predict. If you focus on the land around you, you can almost imagine yourself within a group of covered wagons or horseback riders traveling along this byway.
Along this byway you'll get to see both natural and man-made attractions.

There are museums, tourist attractions, and miles of scenic Kansas countryside. Plus, you can make the trip last longer by staying overnight at some point in the trip and exploring more the next day.
