The Ultimate And Definitive Bucket List For Everyone In Kansas

Western Kansas has some of the clearest, most pristine skies you will ever see. Throw some blankets and pillows in the bed of your truck, sit back and enjoy the stars like never before.

You never know what awesome finds you'll score during the annual Treasure Hunt, (which typically runs in mid-September.)

"Rock the Casbah" (and your tastebuds) at the famous Lawrence joint.

I totally get why this incredible waterfall has made so many national "Must See" lists, (including AARP, Yahoo and Most Amazing in the World.)

Linsborg, or "Little Sweden," hosts a biennial heritage celebration complete with authentic foods, dancers and vendors that you won't find anywhere else (besides Sweden, of course).

Enjoy a pancake feast, observe horseback drag racing and cap off the day with spectacular fireworks in this charming Amish community.

The Castle, which is open to the public, houses a popular restaurant, and is a premiere destination for weddings and events.

If you haven't experienced the Flint Hills while singing "Home on the Range" with a large orchestra, then you have yet to fully experience them.

The Flint Hills are stunningly beautiful...So it just makes sense to hike them. (Don't forget your camera!)

Located in the heart of the plains is this stunning limestone structure that deserves to be seen (and explored) at least once.

What will it be: walking down the world's largest well (The Big Well Museum & Visitors Center, Greensburg)? Examining different kinds of barbed wire (The Kansas Barbed Wire Museum, La Crosse)? Or admiring a gigantic pile of sock monkeys (Museum of Odd, Lawrence, pictured)? Go ahead and take your pick!

No need to visit our neighbors to the east or west to pitch a tent. Kansas has several picture perfect campgrounds just waiting for you and your family!

Whether you travel to the opposite end of the state or stay right in your hometown, treat yourself to a night at one of the many serene bed and breakfasts in Kansas. (Pictured is a delicious breakfast from the Cedar Crest Lodge in Pleasanton.)

Sample eight delicious micro-brew selections from the award-winning restaurant and brewery.

Impressive limestone cliffs, colorful flowers and the Cedar Bluff Reservoir await you at this centrally located byway.
