Tours on a Tankful

These self-guided driving tours take you from the old west to little Sweden, from the nation's largest inland marsh to the bottom of the world's largest hand-dug well. The tours all start and end in Great Bend. Take your time at each of the stops and have fun discovering all that is the Heartland Country!

  • Some interesting things highlighted on each tour is Cheyenne Bottoms, the Kansas Wetlands Education Center, and the Basin Rim Overlook. All three rate a must-see for everyone who gets close to Great Bend.

  • The Native American influence on the area is also highlighted in all the tours. Throughout the tour booklet, note the "Native American" inserts that give interesting facts and tell stories of the Native people of Great Bend and surrounding areas.

  • All of the tours also present great birding opportunities. Brit Spaugh Zoo, the Raptor Center, and the Kansas Wetlands Complex are just a few of the great birding adventures you will discover.
