Description

The Whitside Loop Trail features unbeatable panoramic views from the top of the ridge. This trail has challenging steep inclines and shady wooded scenery. You can almost imagine you've stepped back in time to the frontier days when you look down from the top of the ridge onto the First Territorial Capitol, the Kansas River, and the Flint Hills stretching out in the distance.
