Route description

From its western terminus in Barber County, K-2 proceeds east for 5 miles to the town of Kiowa, where it forms the northern terminus of the brief southern leg of K-8. In Kiowa, K-2 turns to the north and then to the northeast, running parallel to a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway track for about 12 miles, skirting the town of Hazelton and crossing into Harper County. K-2 then runs eastward for about 17 miles to Anthony, where it forms the western terminus of K-44 and turns northward. Six miles north of Anthony, K-2 intersects with US-160, which it overlaps for the next four miles. Three miles north of that intersection, K-2/US-160 turn to the east, through the town of Harper. On the eastern edge of Harper, US-160 continues east, while K-2 goes north and then northeast. It continues northeast for 18 miles, clipping the southeast corner of Kingman County and crossing briefly into Sumner County, where it ends at K-42 near Suppesville.cite map|publisher=Kansas Department of Transportation|url=http://kdot1.ksdot.org/burtransplan/maps/state-pdf/kansas0708.pdf|title=Official Transportation Map|edition=2007-08|accessdate=2007-08-12]
