About Kansas The wide open spaces and cultural attractions of Kansas could easily clear a worked up mind. But before nature and culture take charge, here's a look at what sports has to offer travelers in the beautiful state of Kansas. The Kansas Speedway in Kansas City is home to NASCAR action, while golfers have much to cheer about thanks to the abundance of golf courses including the Prairie Dunes Country Club that hosted the 2006 US Senior Open. Kansas is home to college athletics, while two minor league baseball teams are based here. More adventurous sports including hunting and fishing can be enjoyed, thanks to the terrain Kansas is blessed with. The capital city of Topeka offers certain attractions as well. If flora and fauna are what visitors to Kansas look for, they'll be glad to know that Kansas is home to the largest remaining stand of tallgrass prairie in North America. Visitors to Kansas vacation rentals would also love the fact that the state is still home to the American bison, which can be viewed up close at two of the wildlife refuges of Kansas and along the highways in Western Kansas and the Flint Hills. Here's the list of national parks of Kansas – Cimarron National Grassland in Morton County, Fort Scott National Historic Site in Bourbon County, Fort Larned National Historic Site in Pawnee County, Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Chase County, Nicodemus National Historic Site in Graham County, and Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site of Shawnee County. The vacationer has got his work cut out if he plans to sample the spirit of Kansas. |
