Near Coyville, Kansas

This gravel backroad stays in decent shape for most of the year, though it ripples with light corrugations and hides the occasional pothole.

The route runs over generally well-graded gravel, though frequent corrugations and scattered bumps keep the suspension working. A couple of concrete fords carry the track over shallow rivers, and you will likely meet a steady stream of local traffic moving between pastures. All the while, the landsc...

The route runs mostly straight across well-graded gravel, though it bends just enough to keep things interesting and crosses over a broad concrete bridge spanning the creek. Shallow corrugations, scattered potholes, and late-May mud remind you to stay alert, but the drive remains enjoyable rather th...

The road begins as a narrow, twisting ribbon of rough gravel, its ruts rattling the rig while it drops toward a series of shallow stream crossings where mud can linger long after a storm. Once you leave the water behind, the route straightens and broadens, smoothing out under the wheels thanks to th...

The road keeps a mostly straight course, bending just enough to break the monotony, but the surface dips and heaves and is uneven in sections that make the vehicle sway, so easing off the throttle is wise. Although the gravel is generally well maintained, you will bump over light corrugations, dodge...

The track squeezes into a single lane of muddy, rock-strewn gravel that rises and dips over a handful of short climbs and drops. Tight, twisting corners keep you on your toes, and a few shallow stream crossings add to the fun. This stretch of the larger route feels especially scenic, yet fresh tire ...

Most of this route snakes through the hills as a single-lane strip of rough, rocky gravel, bouncing over washboard ridges and splashing through a handful of shallow streams. A few miles from the end, it suddenly opens up into a broader, smoother road that local farmers use to reach the town, so the ...

The track is largely well-graded, yet gentle climbs and drops add a little variety, and the sharper bends carry washboard ridges that rattle through the chassis. On either side, open fields give way to nodding pump jacks and fenced pastures where cattle graze, creating a patchwork of agriculture and...

The route is a single-lane track, its hard-packed dirt quickly turning to sticky clay whenever it rains. Midway along, a tight creek crossing waits; the banks drop away more sharply than they appear from above, and the water sits a little deeper than most drivers anticipate, though a careful approac...

The trail squeezes into a single lane and mixes slick mud with loose rock almost from the start. A short stretch of smooth gravel encourages a little extra speed, but the road soon crests and drops into a steep, stone-strewn descent that demands careful braking. This corner of the broader route is s...

The road rolls out as a fairly well-kept ribbon of gravel, but the steady traffic of ranch trucks has carved in corrugations and pocked it with potholes, so expect a bit of shake and rattle. A fine layer of dust hangs behind each vehicle as the route threads past a mix of weather-beaten homesteads a...

The track is a seldom-traveled ribbon of loose gravel;about halfway in, a slick hairpin drops toward the river, where the crossing proves deeper than it looks, and the base is nothing more than soft mud mixed with scattered rocks.
