Overview

This early morning 5 mile adventure starts with an amazing overlook at Liberty Memorial, then trekking down the hill past Union Station. We’ll stop at a local Mexican shop for refreshing fruit juice as we explore the architecturally and culturally diverse neighborhood of the Westside. We learn about the historical West Bottoms, as well as the Pendergast era in addition to experiencing alleyways lined with street art. This hike is full of Instagramable spots and hidden Kansas City gems. This won’t be a leisurely stroll in flip flops, as we go up steep hills and staircases and sometimes walk in direct sun. You'll need good walking or running shoes and your water bottle!

We enjoyed the hike so much! Lots of hidden gems and tidbits of history mixed in. It was a great evening activity!

Wonderful tour of KC, we saw things we never knew existed even though we’ve lived our lives in KC. Our guide Lisa was fabulous, keeping us on the go and teaching us about KC’s history. This was a great way to spend a Saturday morning! I would highly recommend this tour!

What a great way to get to know more of Kansas City! I appreciate so much Lisa's flexibility. She always kept pulse on how the group was doing, which was important to me as my group included middle school students. She provided options as needed to help the group have an amazing experience.
