8 WONDERS OF KANSAS GEOGRAPHY

Gyp Hills Scenic Back Road

Medicine Lodge, KS | Barber County

From U.S. 281, 3 ΒΌ miles west on U.S. 160, 6 miles south on Gyp Hill, 7 miles west on Scenic, then 7 miles north on Lake City. Small green signs whose white letters read 'Scenic Drive' help guide the way. Approximately a 20-mile round trip, this beautiful drive takes unpaved roads through rolling hills and red mesas past Flower Pot Mound and other landmarks. You will cross cattle guards, so watch for cattle on the road. (8 Wonders of Kansas - Geography)
