US Highway 56 In Kansas

Parks, Nature, & Outdoor Adventures

Road trips across US-56 in Kansas are perfect for observing the diverse topography of Kansas. Leave the stereotypes at home because this highway has everything from the tree-filled hilly landscapes of eastern Kansas to the rolling hills and valleys of central Kansas to the Cimarron National Grasslands of western Kansas. Witness bird migrations at the wetlands at the Cheyenne Bottoms Refuge and get up close and personal with bison at the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge. You can also enjoy many other local parks, state parks, gardens, and other wildlife areas throughout your journey!
