Skyline Mill Creek Scenic Drive

This scenic drive was established in 1968 by business people in Paxico, Alma and Alta Vista to encourage traffic to the businesses in these towns. The Native Stone Scenic Byway committee adopted the drive as an added feature of its highway route. The drive spans the county beginning in Alta Vista,  following the West branch of Mill Creek on old K-10 Hwy through Alma, then south on Hwy 99, turning east up Skyline Road for beautiful views from ridge lines of the county. Along the way, you'll encounter old limestone homesteads and stone fences. Note that Skyline Road is a gravel road, so plan accordingly, but the drive from Alta Vista to Alma (old K-10 Hwy) is a chip-and-seal road.
