Landon Nature Trail – Topeka Kansas

This past Sunday we took a 2 hour drive to our State capital to ride the Landon Nature Trail. This is a rail-to-trail that runs Southeast out of Topeka, and will eventually connect with the Flint-hills Nature Trail. Currently 12 miles of the trail are developed. The first 3.5 miles in Topeka are paved and the rest, a pretty good gravel surface. The entire trail is under a tree canopy which is great for providing shade and blocking the wind but it doesn’t allow for any viewing of the surrounding landscape. The trail has many curves and no long straights which is nice and keeps it from becoming a mundane ride.
