20 Extraordinary Road Trips That Will Change the Way You Travel
14. Prairie Peace on the Flint Hills Scenic Byway

Cruise through Kansas like you’ve never seen it—on the Flint Hills Scenic Byway, where tallgrass prairie rolls endlessly under wide skies. Stretching from Cassoday to Council Grove, this 48-mile route showcases one of North America’s rarest ecosystems. Visit the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve to watch bison roam, then stop in Cottonwood Falls for pie and a walk through history. This isn’t a trip for thrill-seekers—it’s for those who appreciate quiet, wind, and wild grasses that dance like water. Simple. Soothing. Sublime.
