Touring by Vehicle

Touring slowly by vehicle on the roads or dikes is a good way to visit either Cheyenne Bottoms or Quivira National Wildlife Refuge as the critters are somewhat accustomed to traffic. Both areas have driving tours with brochures available at entrances. You may also contact the Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau and request a driving brochure.

Enhance driving tours with short walks from your vehicle along the roads and dikes. We recommend you wear enclosed shoes, a hat, and sunscreen, and use insect repellent (also sprayed on shoes and socks to avoid chiggers and ticks). Bring along binoculars and a camera.

Be among the first to drive the newest Kansas Scenic Byway. Central Kansas will soon be the home of the Wetlands & Wildlife Scenic Byway. This drive is a perfect way to enjoy a tour that mixes wetalnds, prairie, and small rural communities. This Byway is a visual surprise. Flat prairie vistas are certainly here but there are also lovely, softly rolling sandhills coverd with grass and gnarled trees. There are large shelterbelts of everygreens and deciduous trees saluting the prairie and revealing glimpses of homesteads and farmhouses. Take a drive and discover the quiet beauty of Central Kansas.
