It was another beautiful winter day and that means we are out and about. We’ve been doing a lot of day trips to the local lakes but today we decided to go Lindsborg.

Our first stop a bakery – 350 Degrees. They really put out some wonderful baked goods. Rusk – made from cinnamon rolls that are sliced thin and rebaked in butter, cinnamon and sugar. That’s a dangerous treat!! So many wonderful pastries, bierocks, cinnamon rolls, bread pudding, so much more to choose from.

Next stop The White Peacock. The friendliest coffee shop around. I need to venture out and order something other than a Chi latte with oat milk, but it’s soooo good.

Time to hike it off.

Meadowlark Trail is a rail to trail. The trailhead at Lindsborg follows the old Union Pacific rail. The planned trail is a 13 mile rail to trail connecting Lindsborg and McPherson. The segment from Lindsborg is 4 miles, then the trail ends, with hopes of one day connecting to the trail that starts from the other end at McPherson.

A Christmas tree on the trail.

This part of the trail is tree lined
