The short ribbon of Route 66 through Kansas is the shortest of any state at just 13.2 miles. But don’t discount this brief journey for a moment, as in these few short miles, there is more Route 66 experience than any other dozen miles on Mother Road. This brief stretch of the road also provides a peek at Civil War history, the Old West, and the mining days of the tri-state area.

Enjoy your brief journey through the Sunflower State.
