Description

This property offers two AirBnB which you can run from and then watch the trains go on the elevated tracks 30 feet or more above you. The trail has a mortarless stone arch bridge and neat timber arches arranged like Stonehenge.

Flora & Fauna

Like most fields in KS, you'll find big and little bluestem grass along the trail. Sunflowers attract local bees and since the trail gets little use, spiders build some pretty cool webs across the trail in late summer and fall.
