The Visiting Wanderer

Off the well-worn highways of Kansas lies a beauty that most travelers may not get to experience. For some, Kansas is just a place to drive through to reach other destinations. Those who take the time and are willing to tread off the beaten path will find an experience that is more enduring than the usual tourist spots. The real treasures are made by nature, not man. Some have taken millions of years to sculpt into the alluring landscapes that take a willingness to leave the paved roads to procure the awe that will inspire you.
