In Kansas, we invite you to travel off the beaten path — our favorite place to be. Join thousands of cyclists at Unbound Gravel, the world’s premiere gravel bike event through the rolling Flint Hills. Witness an unfiltered, fiery sunset over 11,000 acres of the last remaining native North American tallgrass prairies. Stand in wonder at Little Jerusalem and Monument Rocks, the ragged land formations that tower over the Midwestern skyline, unearthing fossilized secrets from ancient saltwater seas. Get outdoors and hunt large populations of whitetail deer and waterfowl, or fish year-round in our unrestrained lakes. Camp under the stars, go horseback riding, and play disc golf at 29 state parks, then dine at a neighborhood family-owned restaurant serving saucy, smoky Kansas BBQ only found in cattle country. Discover the beauty of exploring the open road with an open heart, driving our 12 scenic and historic byways. Stop at a quirky roadside attraction, like the world’s largest ball of twine, or visit the Cosmosphere that holds the world's largest collection of Soviet and U.S. Space Race memorabilia outside of the Smithsonian. Immerse yourself in cowboy culture in Dodge City and Abilene, or visit the bustling cities of Wichita, Lawrence, and Kansas City, all richly diverse in creative arts, culture, and possibilities. The Sunflower State has something for everyone. From rest and relaxation to adventure and exploration, come vacation in Kansas.
