Topeka, Kansas sits where I-70 meets I-470 about 60 miles west of Kansas City, serving as the state capital in the rolling prairie of northeast Kansas. Most visitors arrive on I-70 from either direction, while US-75 connects north to Nebraska and I-335 heads southwest to Wichita. The city experiences typical Great Plains weather with hot, humid summers and cold winters. The Kansas State Capitol dome rises 304 feet above downtown, making it one of America's tallest capitol domes and visible for miles across the prairie.
