Coronado Heights just outside of Lindsborg, Kansas is a hill that is supposedly the site where Francisco Vásquez de Coronado ended his search for the fabled “seven cities of gold” and decided to return back to Mexico. Now a park and scenic overlook, Coronado Heights is situated on a three-hundred-foot promontory and features a castle-like building and picnic area. The view from here is rather spectacular and the drive up to the site is beautiful itself, featuring several trees, sumac, and yucca. There is also a three-mile trail for mountain biking with two loops that travel around the park’s base.
