Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Short Trip!
The answer, my friends, might surprise you. Ottawa and Kansas City aren't exactly continents apart. In fact, you could almost throw a frisbee and hit it... if you had a really strong arm. We're talking a breezy 50-ish miles separating these two Kansas gems. That's a quick car ride, a leisurely bike trip if you're feeling adventurous (with plenty of rest stops for delicious BBQ, of course), or even a doable jog for the ultra-marathoners out there (though we wouldn't recommend it in the Kansas summer heat).
Fun Fact: Did you know they have a replica of the Liberty Bell in Ottawa? Maybe a little too close for comfort to the original, Kansas? Just kidding... mostly.
