With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Cottonwood Falls, 19 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Z Bar/Spring Hill Ranch, Chase County Historical Society Museum and Chase County Courthouse. Topeka is another wonderful option. It’s 60 miles away and boasts tons of interesting things to see and do. Topeka Performing Arts Center, Kansas State Capitol and Kansas Museum of History are only the start.
