Hotels in Kansas, United States
Kansas sits in the center of the U.S., on the Great Plains, with a continental climate that brings hot summers (often 90s F / 32-37 C) and cold winters (teens to 20s F / -9 to -6 C). It's famous for endless wheat fields, the historic Wild West town of Dodge City, and the Flint Hills-the last tallgrass prairie left in North America. Spring and fall are the best times to visit: hike the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in May for wildflowers, or tour the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene during the mild October harvest season; winter offers fewer crowds and a chance to experience a real cattle drive reenactment in Dodge City.
