Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway | American Tour Association

A GOOD REASON TO GO

National Scenic Byway

Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway moves through radiant wetlands full of wildlife, prairie vistas with immense skies, and rural communities shaped by nature and the entrepreneurial spirit. Clouds of Sandhill and Whooping Cranes descend; and pelicans, Bald and Golden Eagles, shorebirds, ducks, and geese gracefully rest here, capturing the spirit of this byway.

The Kansas Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway is a paradise for birdwatchers such as those shown here. Both beginners and experts will find a visit to the wetlands an exciting experience. Most birdwatchers simply stop along the dikes and roadways with binoculars and spotting scopes as indicated in this photo. — Birdwatchers
