The
definitive guidebook to hiking Kansas City from Pebble Publishing
has been completely updated, expanded and redesigned with a mountain
of new photographs to help you hike, explore, and unwind.
In
this comprehensive fourth edition, life-long Kansas City hikers
William Eddy and Richard Ballentine highlight more than 125 off-the-road
hiking and walking trails in and around the Kansas City area.
From
popular, flat, paved city park trails to remote, rolling, forested
treks you'll find that good walks and hikes are close to home no
matter which way your compass points you.
This
guidebook includes updates to old favorites as well as many new
trails sure to be visited again and again. Beginners and seasoned
hikers alike can flip a few pages and find a perfect trail no matter
the season.
Enjoy
the fresh air, the good exercise and the tranquility that can only
be found on a trail· See deer, wild turkey, foxes, beaver, and blue
birds· Hear the wind rustle through the trees as you hike hardwood
forests. Explore prairie grasslands, river valleys, and rugged hills.
Walk along lake shores, beside marshes, limestone bluffs and forgotten
railroad bridges. End the day with a sunset high atop a lookout
point.
Review
of Hiking Kansas City, 4th Edition:
"Good
news regarding the fourth edition of Hiking Kansas City·the book
is more attractive, more complete and easier to use·The fourth
edition also features something no previous edition had: photographs·the
selected photos here help give hikers a better idea of the various
landscapes·
Just as welcome as always, are the five information categories
that introduce each hiking area: approximate time you'll need;
distance; whether drinking water is available; accessibility options
for disabled people; and a trail rating that classifies hikes
as easy, moderate, or difficult·
The best thing about the Eddy and Ballentine guide is that one
can use it to tailor a hike to the needs of the day: Do you have
time to drive out to a picturesque area like Weston Bend State
Park or the Lawrence Kansas River Trails? Or do time constraints
necessitate finding an urban oasis such as Klein Park/Cave Spring
in South Kansas City?"
