This region is a vast open textbook of nature with its own distinct and
fragile beauty, the result of a landscape sculpted by geologic forces, whose
effects have been held tenaciously in check by hardy and resilient vegetation.
Traveling across the Byway, one may imagine how this short grass prairie was
viewed by Native Americans, frontiersmen, early cattlemen, 19
Today's stewards of the prairie include farmers and ranchers, the US Forest Service, and an increasing number of former urbanites.
The Byway offers historic attractions and recreation areas along the roadways. Visitors can experience solitude and explore nature through bird watching, wildlife study, photography, and hiking.
Simply driving along the Byway, visitors encounter pleasant agricultural communities while traveling through 100 million years of geologic deposition artfully exposed and rearranged by wind and water.
