Kansas is famous for its flatlands, well preserved natural beauty and farms. To get an authentic American experience, tour a ranch or visit the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. If you are hoping to cool off during the summer months, head to Lake Scott State Park and kayak or swim. Feeling adventurous? Why not camp out at Cimarron National Grassland. Finally, on your Kansas travels check out the huge, naturally deposited boulders in Rock City Park and Monument Rocks, the state’s 1st national landmark.
