The east side of Kansas surrounding Kansas City is hardly flat. It's no Utah, but flat? Kansas City most certainly is not that.
The drive down to Witchita from Topeka certainly has its own class of wonderful views akin to what you would experience between Heber and Orem in Utah. These are just different scales of horizon, and both are enjoyable.
What would be really nice though, in the Kansas City area, if there was more light-pollution discipline to maybe bring back the experience of seeing the Milky Way again, without a long-ish drive.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 10y agoI haven't driven Topeka->Wichita, but I've done KC->Topeka and hoo boy I would not call those views "wonderful".
- madengr 10y agoWest of Topeka in the Kansa Prarie is very nice. FWIW I'm in KC tech sector. If I want to get back to nature I just drive 1/2 hour south to the land that I own, and I make more than those figures touted above. You guys can keep your California.
- jordache 10y agoit's all relative man... most of the mundane scenery out here in the MTN West would be packaged as a state park in the uninspiring parts of the country. Sorry, I'm such as scenery snob now, after moving to the Mtn West from the Midwest...
