I have bicycled from Colorado to Missouri 24 times on blue highways with the Bicycling Across Kansas tour. You have to get off i70 to see the beauty of state and have a great adventure.
My recently deceased big brother, Larry Richardson, was a petroleum geologist and Kansas Geological Hall of Fame inductee. He explored these areas for many many years. He and his knowledge will be forever missed by my family and friends.
I'm from the Southeast near the Appalachian mountains, and I grew up hearing people talking negatively about the Midwest for being "flat" and not as pretty. This video completely changed my mind - so beautiful! The hills remind me of the Shire in Lord of the Rings. I'll have to visit sometime.
Honestly, to the creator of this video, thank you ever so much. I am a (nearly) lifelong resident of the state of Colorado, i had no idea that Kansas (our neighbor to the east) was so varied and quite honestly so magnificently beautiful. Thank you for helping me to see that which has been "hiding" for years as i have zoomed along the interstates heading to other locales for various reasons. I look forward to investigating (slowly) the wonders and beauty of "that endless flat state between Goodland and Kansas City", and i will do my level best to avoid using the interstates!
Thanks so much Peter, I'm glad you enjoyed the film! I'm actually a transplant from Florida, but absolutely fell in love with Kansas when I moved out here 12 years ago. Still discovering new places to this day! Stay tuned for our PBS special called Kansas From Above! It highlights even more of the state, and all from the drone. I'll put out a video when that film is closer to airing. Thanks for watching!!
It's really only flat between Denver and Hays on I-70, or Pueblo and Dodge City on US 50. Like he said, it's not the Rockies as you travel on east and south, but there are some really cool areas that are good for camping/hiking/photos. Just be cautious of the occasional Rattlesnake or Copperhead. I love driving back to my hometown! I have often driven from Kansas City over 270 miles on county and dirt roads to get back home in South Central Kansas. I always end up finding something new. Obviously, you can't be in a hurry to do it that way. Lol!
What a beautiful video! Thank you for taking the time to appreciate Kansas! I grew up in Kansas and most people will never know beyond what they can see from I70.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
Standing on top of a mountain makes one feel small, while standing in the rolling plains has a slightly different feel, making the world seem so large.
what a great video! i've lived in hutchinson since 2003. alot of people do not take the time to see the natural beauty all around them, even in a "fly over state"
I'm about to release a movie called "Kansas From Above" that shows every physiographic region in the state and is very detailed. Would be honored if you'd take a look once it's out. Should be online early next year.
My father just passed away in April and Clark County Lake was our weekend getaway during the spring and summer. Being a lake where jet skis and boating for recreation is not permitted makes it such a relaxing fishing and camping experience. It's my happy place and will continue to be where I go to remember him.
Ever since I got a new car, I have been making it a point to find spots in Kansas that I don't usually seek out. Also need new hiking trails. So far the furthest west I've gotten is Nicodemus.

I grew up in this region. Great video.
When thinking of Kansas, no one thinks of this topography. Thanks for educating us.
What a beautiful video! Thank you for taking the time to appreciate Kansas! I grew up in Kansas and most people will never know beyond what they can see from I70.
Excellent resource for all Social Studies teachers who would like to introduce students to the geography of Kansas. Well done!

Absolutely stunning videography and information. Thank you!

Awesome video of my home state.
Beautiful photography and videography!
Very beautiful landscape.

I grew up in a mountainous area in other state. Kansas some area that bring back mammories of my youth

You know that your close to Missouri when you cross The Smoky Hill River . The smoky hill river is defiantly something to see.
Wow! You showed me what I missed while living there.
Great video. Informative and beautifully filmed! Can I ask what drone you used for this?
Nice job Nick. I love it
AWESOME video!
Amazing Video!
Three years late, but wonderful video
I went to high school in barber county , the gyp hills are a well kept secret
Beautiful
I grew up roaming through and exploring Little Jerusalem. A beautiful area and full of fossils.
Well done!
Kansas has some good places and stuff. People always say Dorothy and the wizard of Os and is fun to go if you don’t want dirt roads on it
How come you guys didn't go over Wakonda Lake?
Kansas has more scenery than people outside the state think it has. But it is literally ranked 50th out of all states for tourism in most lists.
Ever since I got a new car, I have been making it a point to find spots in Kansas that I don't usually seek out. Also need new hiking trails. So far the furthest west I've gotten is Nicodemus.
Great stuff!! do you know what waterfalls those are at around 33 seconds?
Santa Fe Lake Falls near Augusta!
This is like Minecraft IRL
Fantastic!!! Thank you so much to everyone involved ❤️🔥❤️🔥🍻
