Scenery

Beautiful wheat, cornsoybean fields of Reno and Rice county to beautiful rolling hills of Ellsworth, Saline and McPherson Counties. Great trip, weather providing, all year round. In the summer you might take plenty of water just in case and remember to enjoy all the beauty GOD has put out there for you to enjoy!

Drive Enjoyment

All roads are real nice blacktop - A nice combination of long straight stretches of flat road to hilly with lots of nice curves.

Tourism Opportunities

There is a town about every 15 to 20 miles with plenty of places to shop, eat and get gas - All of the towns have grocery store for food items if you want to have a picnic in their park - Several towns have historic sites from the old cattle trails to explorers. In Marquette you'll find a motorcycle museum.
