Overview

This early morning 5 mile adventure starts with an amazing overlook at Liberty Memorial, then trekking down the hill past Union Station. We’ll stop at a local Mexican shop for refreshing fruit juice as we explore the architecturally and culturally diverse neighborhood of the Westside. We learn about the historical West Bottoms, as well as the Pendergast era in addition to experiencing alleyways lined with street art. This hike is full of Instagramable spots and hidden Kansas City gems. This won’t be a leisurely stroll in flip flops, as we go up steep hills and staircases and sometimes walk in direct sun. You'll need good walking or running shoes and your water bottle!

We also offer tours in Spanish! ¡También ofrecemos el recorrido completamente en español!

    Despite the heat it was a great urban hike experience. Lisa is an unbelievably pleasant guide who has the perfect demeanor and is very knowledgeable. It was a great experience all around. I took my three kids (10, 12, 15) and they enjoyed learning about the history of the city and seeing the different murals. 10/10 would go on another urban hike.

    We did the Crossroads Art District & Westside Urban Hike and it was so much fun! I was surprised that the majority of the people on our tour were locals (we were visiting and had never been to Kansas City before). What a great intro to the city and a chance to see areas we never would have seen on our own! We started at the WW1 Memorial, which has a great view of the skyline, continued on to check out the inside of Union Station, saw a ton of beautiful murals and interesting buildings as we wandered through the neighborhoods, had a brief rest stop with a drink at a Mexican restaurant along the way, and visited countless stops with great views. We learned so much about the history, culture, and architecture of the city, and covered a lot of ground. At the end, we hopped on the train to go back to our starting point, where our guide provided us with a ton of restaurant recommendations for lunch. I would absolutely recommend for anyone visiting Kansas City or for anyone local who is just wanting to check out a part of town they’ve never explored.

    Friendly & informative hike - time passed quickly! Terrain was easy and loved exploring alleys that I would not have been comfortable going through on my own - the artwork was fantastic & impressive! Tips - wear a hat, sunscreen, and bring lots of water. Definitely recommend this unique experience!!!
