The go-to guide to driving through the Sunflower State. Immerse yourself in natural history, discover new wonders, and learn to see familiar highways in new and exciting ways.

Almost forty years after its first publication, Roadside Kansas remains the premier guide to the landscapes and landmarks along more than 2,600 miles of Kansas highway. Conveniently organized by highway and milepost markers and filled with over 100 photos, illustrations, and maps, this book is ready for modern-day explorers to follow along, learning about the land as they travel through the state. Rex Buchanan and James McCauley have shown that Kansas highways provide much more than passage to another state--they are destinations in their own right. Whether you're planning an adventurous road trip or just need a glovebox guidebook, Roadside Kansas is a must-have for every traveler.
