Exploring Hike

Let’s explore KC on and off the beaten path! How many times do you drive by neighborhood areas and think you’d liked to stop and explore? Now’s your chance…each exploring hike will cover a different area of KC and surrounding areas.

We will start with a Waldo to Brookside hike. Meet in the parking lot across the street from KC Bier Co. This is where we will begin on the Trolley Trail. We will head towards Brookside beginning at 1 o’clock. Our turn around stopping point is 2.5 mikes at one of our award winning local breweries, BKS Artisan Ales. They offer several options for sampling the local flavor. Worked up an apetite? Luca’s bagels is next door with a 4.5 rating. Or the 4.7 rated Plate is on the other side and delivers to BKS.

From BKS, we will meander through neighborhoods streets, down Holmes and Rockhill to Gregory where we will pass a neighborhood of shops, businesses, and places to eat. From there, we are back to Trolley Trail onward to return to KC Bier Co. Stay for their famous bierocks or order some to go for dinner later.

Dress warm… it will be a chilly fall day! Best time for a neighborhood hike 😃

Here are some 4+ star places we will pass along way. Use this list to plan your next city hike with eats and treats along the way.
