Stones and Byways

The Native Stone Scenic Byway is a great way to discover the Flint Hills. I recently had the opportunity to write about this 48-mile long byway for the TravelKS Blog. You can read the post here.

The Native Stone Scenic Byway (read more about it here) is a tremendous stretch of road, with great vistas, tallgrass prairie, and many examples of how early settlers figured out how to create a way of life with limestone.
