Getting across Kansas depends on whether you want to interstate or you like driving US or state highways. If you don't opt for interstate all the way, you could go hwy. 50 all the way or you could take 56 to 96 to Pueblo. Both are good roads but you do go through towns along the way. Sometimes it is fun to get off the fast track and see America.

That's the route I use 56 to 96 in KS. The last few miles of 96 before Pueblo was kind of rough so I would cut back to 50 at Ordway. They might have repaired that stretch by now its been a few years since I traveled it.
