Now is a great time to explore natural areas near us here in Wichita by taking a nice scenic drive with the family. Over the past couple of years, we’ve been writing about fantastic places to see in our Kansas Road Trips series. I thought it would be a good time to reshare these since prices on traditional vacations is sky high. Check out our GasBuddy app to find out where gas is cheap and take a country drive for some good entertainment.
Before you go anywhere, make sure you read Emily’s “Kansas Road Trip Travel Essentials” for a list of very good ideas that will make the difference between a great trip and a fiasco. 🙂 You’ll be glad you did!
Since writing the articles below, we’ve visited even more awesome natural areas and will be adding to this list soon. What are your favorite scenic drives near Wichita? Please share them with us in the comments.
