We loved our hike with Lisa through Strawberry Hill. After living here for 30 years I had no idea there was so much history and cool little bars and restaurants up on the hill. We also really enjoyed the large murals that were everywhere and tell the history of many of the immigrants that lived there. I highly recommend this hike!There's nothing like seeing a community at "human speed" and eye-level.

There's nothing like seeing a community at "human speed" and eye-level. Our guides, Lisa and Christy, walked us through the history and current landscape of Strawberry Hill in Kansas City, KS, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Lisa and Christy are KCK residents, but they've also done tons of research and actually gotten to know their neighbors in Strawberry Hill. The physical part of the hike was perfect for our group: the hills kept our blood pumping, and the walk included plenty of stops to catch our breath, take pictures, and soak up local culture. Our Urban Hikes KC experience was part of a team-building company outing, and we're looking forward to scheduling more excursions with UHKC.Lisa was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. As first time visitors to KCK, we were able to experience Strawberry Hill from a locals perspective. We enjoyed learning about its history while logging some urban hiking miles.

Lisa was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. As first time visitors to KCK, we were able to experience Strawberry Hill from a locals perspective. We enjoyed learning about its history while logging some urban hiking miles. We especially appreciated hearing more about the Wyandot tribe as well as how residents of Strawberry Hill strive to make their community better.
