The byway runs on Kansas Highway 27 north of St. Francis (north point) to Sharon Springs (south point). From the canyons of the Arikaree Breaks in St. Francis to the spectacular wide-open spaces of Sherman and Wallace counties, the byway covers 88 miles of scenic delights.  On the nation’s first agricultural themed byway, stand under the 80-foot tall Giant van Gogh, or next to the  Giant Grasshopper  in Goodland, see how dry beans are processed at 21ST Century Bean in Ruleton and watch the seasons of agriculture under the biggest skies you’ll ever see. In late June to early July, the land turns gold with ripening wheat. During sunflower bloom season, look for glowing yellow on the horizon, which is a sure sign of a blooming sunflower field. When you see that glow, get ready to photograph the Sunflower State’s best displays of its signature flower.   Mount Sunflower, marking the state’s highest point at 4,039 feet above sea level is another great photo stop. While in St. Francis visit the St. Francis Motorcycle Museum and tour 100 years of motorcycle history.  Outdoor enthusiasts can spot wildlife and fish at the St. Francis Wildlife Area and fish where the Republican River cuts through the area.
