SR 2 parallels railroad tracks that cut through the wide-open spaces of grassy prairie lands dotted with scrub brush and farms, many of which have towering cornfields that border the highway. The grassy sandhills for which this byway is named make up much of the background, and May through June, you might see blowout penstemon bloom purple flowers on the dunes.
