About the Post Rock Scenic Byway
The prairies of Kansas are filled with a quiet beauty, but our rolling hills are not naturally filled with timber-bearing trees. As this area began to transform into a haven for grazing cattle, ranchers looked to local natural resources for solutions to fencing needs. Thus, the icons of the Post Rock Scenic Byway were created. Many of these historic limestone post rocks remain as tributes to those that came before, and travelers will get to witness how history has begun to blend in with a quirky, artistic future.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
