100 Cow Hill Scenic Back Road

Butler County, Kansas

You need to try this rugged route just for the name alone! From 116th Terrace in Beaumont, stairstep 7¾ miles south and west on Squier (becomes Beaumont-Latham), 1½ miles west on 190 (Beaumont-Latham), 1 mile south on Rattlesnake, 2½ miles east on 200, ½ mile south on Wiedeman, then 2 miles east on 216/Pioneer (becomes Oxen as you cross into Elk County). Along the way you'll likely see buffalo, definitely a wind farm, and lovely Flint Hills scenery. Just past the Green Ranch sign, you'll come to a descent so steep you could stack 100 cows on top of each other, thus the nickname (unofficial) of this road. Dry weather roads.
