Pick your Kansas! This road gives the traveler the real rural flavor of Kansas. Hwy K4 will lead you on a nice and relaxed tour of rural Kansas.

If you want to see Kansas' hillier side, head east from Lindsborg on Hwy K4 and you'll find mild hills, twists and turns. Going this way and you can be in Topeka after about 100 miles of Hwy K4 driving.

An excellent ride for anyone looking for a small change of pace from the normally straight Kansas roads. Highly recommended.

I chose this route because I was visiting the wonderful barbed wire museum in La Cross and was going to K.C next. There are also exhibits on the unique sandstone fenceposts from that part of the plains.

The route itself is unremarkable unless you can enjoy watching the waving of grain fields, the silhouettes of old farm buildings and windmills and wonder of the families that first put so much of their lives into taming the ground and making a life. It is a peaceful ride.

Great road. A great get away from the Interstate. Plan on 4 to 5 hours. But make it more, and take in the stops along the way.
