This is a bit of a drive, but very cool nonetheless. You can hike in here to see these "caves" cut out of the limestone bluffs over 100 years ago. If you plan to go hiking at Lake Kanopolis and the Mushroom rocks, put this one in your daytrip plans as well. It's definitely off the beaten path and not seen by many people.

Faris Caves are a series of artificially excavated caves located along the Smoky Hill River in central Ellsworth County, Kansas. Each of the three caves are about 12-feet square, with 10-foot arched ceiling, dug out of the Dakota Sandstone with a pickaxe by Coloradan miner Charles Griffee in the 1880s. [1] Fresh spring water flowed through one of the caves to help keep food and supplies cool in the hot months.
