Scipio (Scipio Road)

Mile Marker:76.1

A view from Scipio.

Scipio is not actually on the Trail, but it does have services and points of interest that might be of interest to cyclists. It's only 0.7 mile away and uphill, but you could coast back to the trail.

It is 2.4 miles north to Richmond.	It is 5.7 miles south to Garnett (Lake Garnett).
As you cross the road and the Supper Club, the climb continues as you make your way towards Richmond. You will know taht you are close as the trail takes a sharp left turn. As you come around the bend you will see the tunnel under Highway 59 that is on the edge of town.	You continue downhill until you come to the first of two bridges over Pottawatomie Creek. As you pass the second bridge you will start to notice a slight grade uphill that will continue until you reach Garnett. Off to your left the terrain drops precipitously for a beautiful vista over the tops of the trees. As you break through the trees you will see Lake Garnett signaling your entry into Garnett.
