Description
This trail offers about a 100-foot ascent from west to east so it's a better climb than hiking anywhere else in the city. This path connects McAdams, Dr. Glen Day and Chisolm Creek Parks. It also offers access to the Great Plains Nature Center at the corner of 29th and Woodlawn. Once you reach the end of the path at 127th East, you can hike the path along Central Street to the east 3 miles into Andover!
