Two of the byways, the Flint Hills Scenic Byway and the Wetlands and Wildlife Scenic Byway, are also designated National Scenic Byways. The guide also features several Kansas photographers.

The other day I was trying to make a decision, and I called a friend to ask her advice. She gave me her expert advice, and I still hemmed and hawed. Then she said “I’m going to hold up a mirror and tell you what you always tell me.” And you know what? It was advice I’ve given her many times. I followed her (my) advice and everything turned out great.
It’s sort of how our Byway Specialists work here at the Resource Center. We have expertise on several subjects or we know who is an expert to go to for answers. We listen to people involved in byway organizations, State organizations, Federal land management agencies and tribes. We talk about their plans, visions, projects, and concerns. We offer tools, information, education and ideas for solutions. Then we hold up a mirror. Sometimes, you already hold the solution; you just need help uncovering it.
