Wonderful way to say goodbye

My family and I are moving away from KC. As my going away party, a group of friends and I went with Lisa on a hike of Strawberry Hill in KCK. This is the second hike I've been on with her. I can't say enough about them. They are so fun. So informative. We were able to go down to Kaw Point which was so cool. Amazing views, amazing weather and such a bittersweet send off for me!

Even my tween son liked it!

This was such a fun way to spend a nice Saturday morning! My 11- year-old son and I did the Strawberry Hill/KCK urban hike. I chose it since my grandmother grew up in this neighborhood. Even though I went into it with familiarity, I learned so much from our guide, Rebekah. My son was worried we'd spend the whole three hours being "talked at," but it was such a nice mix of a peaceful walk, engaging scenery and learning from Rebekah. Would recommend anytime.

Great experience - highly recommend

Highly recommend Urban Hikes KC - we did the Strawberry Hill hike and it was fantastic! Lisa does an incredible job of sharing both the rich history and interesting info about the art. We also got to visit with some very interesting people along the way.

Strawberry Hill Kansas City - Urban Hike

We had a great time with old and new friends hiking through the historical Strawberry Hill district of Kansas City Ks learning about the Wyandotte Native Americans and their struggles moving west plus the history of the Slavic settlement. I enjoyed seeing all the old churches and the history behind them plus the view of downtown KC was amazing. Lisa was an excellent guide. She not only was very knowledgeable of the history but also took us by some good bars and restaurants I will be visiting in the future. I would recommend this hike to anyone the neighborhoods we visited were so quaint. Thank you Lisa - Urbanhikeskc.com
