Beginning outside Blue Rapids, Kansas, this travel route roughly follows the route of the Blue Valley Scenic Route, an auto trail designated in the late 1910s. Unfortunately, the exact route of the auto trail cannot be retraced in its entirety. This route follows U.S. 77, parallel to the Big Blue River.
