Santa Fe Trail Days

Susan’s Scavenger Hunt Clues 2026

The Sanctuary of Stories: Seek the dark brick refuge on Broadway where the town’s history and imagination are kept under one roof. Find the main entrance sign that honors the memory of a local family and pose for your first photo. 

The Glowing Crown: Look up on Broadway to find an Art Deco masterpiece. Seek the massive, colorful structure that has lit up the night since the 1940s, standing as a neon sentinel over the downtown sidewalk. 

The Depression-Era Landmark: Travel to the historic 1930s home of the Indians. Near the old ticket booth at the main entrance, find the spot where fans have gathered for generations to look out over the diamond. Capture your photo here at this community landmark that has stood the test of time. 

The Earth-Built Home: Find the dwelling made entirely of the land it sits on. It has no wooden siding or brick—only the thick roots and soil of the Kansas prairie form its walls and roof. 

The Sentinel at the Gate: Travel west of town to the historic sandstone outpost. Before crossing the bridge, find the brown entrance sign set in a base of red rock. Look for the metal silhouette of a soldier on horseback standing guard beside the name. 

The Bucking Gates: Head to where the dust kicks up and the spurs jingle. Find the tall tower that overlooks the metal chutes where the eight-second clock begins to tick.

The Underhand Diamonds: Seek the complex where the high-arc pitch is king. Look for the main entrance sign that bears the name of our town’s most generous family—the same name found on the library and the park. 

The Pillar of Patriotism: Visit the grounds where the county’s laws are upheld. Look to the center of the lawn for the tall, white spire that anchors the square and hoists our nation's colors high for all to see. 

The Explorer’s Secret: Finding this little-known memorial might just be the "Pike" of your journey. Seek the modest stone monument dedicated to the traveler who passed through our valley long before the wagons arrived—the same man who first "peaked" at the Rockies. 

The Finish Line: Find the birthplace of local business growth on Broadway. Your final task is to locate the headquarters dedicated to boosting our community, welcoming visitors, and keeping our economy strong. You've reached the end of your journey—snap your final photo here!
