A scenic route from Scott City to Sharon
Springs in western Kansas is now the state’s first historic byway.
The Western Vistas Historic Byway was
approved last week by Kansas Secretary of Transportation Deb
Miller.
The byway covers 102 miles, with many historical markers along
the way.
Travelers heading north out of Scott City would get off U.S. 83
and drive down Kansas Highway 95 past two historic sites – Battle
Canyon, the last Indian battle in Kansas, and Scott State Lake.
Drivers would get back on U.S. 83 toward Oakley, with stops at
Keystone Gallery and Monument Rocks near the Logan-Scott county
line.
