Kansas US 24 Hwy to KC to Manhattan:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick up US 24 off 435 on the Kansas side to avoid the hassle of the KCK/KCMO metro. Past Tonganoxie, 24 has some nice sweeps out to Lawrence and then on to Topeka. 24 passes on the North side of Topeka and then you have a nice stretch of road that is pretty flat but has some enjoyable sweeping curves. Watch out for the town of Silver Lake, it's an active speed trap, especially in the evening hours. The speed limit drops suddenly and you'll get stopped by a cop who was hiding in a parking lot. The view of this part of Kansas is much more enjoyable than what you get from I-70. Stop in St. Marys to see the old church that lost its roof. It's a landmark. Wamego sits on the Kansas River and the downtown had some interesting shops worth a look through. 24 goes divided 4 lane past Wamego and heads into Manhattan. You'll see a big hill with "Manhattan" written on the side. Heading to the top provides a great view of most of the city.
