Prairie Creek Hike

Join your friends and neighbors for a hike along Prairie Creek. Enjoy a lovely winter walk passing waterfalls, rolling hills, and a lovely (sleeping) prairie.
This is a 6 mile out-and-back walk on paved path. Learn about how KC is protecting water, air, and greenspace and ways you can enjoy and protect it from your local Sierra Club.

This event is rain or shine, but we will monitor the weather and may cancel if conditions become unsafe. Dress warmly and wear appropriate footwear (closed-toed walking shoes or hiking boots, please!)
Water bottle recommended.

If you have any questions, contact the organizer or Billy Davies, co-leader and KC area Sierra Club staffer at william.davies@sierraclub.org or 847-636-3642.

This trail is pretty young and is a great example of how we can make greenspace more accessible. It also encourages reflection about how our green space and natural treasures can be threatened, including by new and proposed AI data centers, which pose big impacts on water quality. electricity and air quality. Prairie Creek is just a few miles from the site of a proposed 1 million square foot data center north of the KCI Airport.

There are no vaccine, mask or testing mandates, but if you're sick, please do not attend!
