Comanche County, Kansas
Comanche County is tucked away in south-central Kansas. It’s one of the least populated counties in the state with only about 1,700 residents.
It’s ranching country here. Coldwater, the county seat, has a charm that feels like stepping back in time. The Gyp Hills Scenic Drive offers views that’ll make you forget you’re in Kansas.
If you’re lucky, you might spot a pronghorn antelope. They actually roam free out here. And don’t miss Protection, one of the first towns in the U.S. to be fully vaccinated against polio back in the day.
