Swope Park Trails - Wudchuk Run Trail Head — Attraction in Kansas City

This place is in the midst of Kansas City yet makes you feel like you are out in the wilderness. I love nature and hiking and camping so I sort of dislike bringing attention I places like this so that it doesn’t get bombarded and destroyed but this place is in the middle of Kansas City... it’s still beautiful and I was delighted to go out here one very cold morning last month.. or earlier this month I decided to come out here to take some self portraits to send to my boyfriend since he is deployed. I truly was having the time of my life just taking photo in the beautiful fall foliage.. I even saw deer.. you can still hear traffic around you which reminds you that you are still indeed in the city but still a great getaway if you don’t have time to drive a little further to...

Great park, just be careful if you go after a storm, it gets very muddy and slippery, I did enjoy the trail, it is a easy trail there is not much elevation which is good for beginners and experts who want to keep in shape, unfortunately the trail is next to the fwy and you will be hearing the noise of the cars, just try to focus on the cardinals noise and you will be surprised how beautiful they sing and how beautiful they are, it was my first time visiting this place,...

Great trail, single track, lots of short up and downs, rocky. I stayed to the left at every fork & took the long way around, 120 minutes, a little more than 3 miles total. Only saw 4 bikes, & 3 other hikers on trail on Sunday August 6th at 2pm. Yes you are close to the road for the 1st third, but after that you are surrounded by nature. Not greatly marked but does have small signs if you know where to look at the forks in the trail. I really enjoyed the workout....
