      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - This fall, get lost in the Loess Hills - Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge</image:title>
      <image:caption>Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge (formerly known as Squaw Creek), is well known as a destination to view migrating birds. But many people somehow miss the trails exploring the lofty bluffs behind the visitors’ center. About four miles of natural surface trails take hikers to the summit and ridgeline, providing distant views of the area.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - This fall, get lost in the Loess Hills - Star School Hill Prairie Conservation Area</image:title>
      <image:caption>Consider this destination off the beaten path. Star School Hill Prairie Conservation, near the Iowa border, provides sweeping views of three states and the Missouri River Valley. Trails exist but are rustic. However, it’s easy to find your way around this relatively small area. Heads up: This hike has a seriously steep grade. It’s worth the trip to the top, but you’ll feel the burn. If you are headed to loess hills in Iowa or Nebraska, this is a good waypoint.</image:caption>

Trails are challenging, but views are rewarding. Along with traveling ridgetops, hikers at Indian Cave can “bottom out” and relax right next to the Missouri River.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - This fall, get lost in the Loess Hills - Four State Lookout, White Cloud, Kansas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Finally, to be a completist, we’ll include the Four State Lookout in White Cloud, Kansas. Although northeast Kansas is a unique geographic region with massive river bluffs, there is almost no public property to allow exploration. However, you can still get a bird’s eye view from the lookout in this somewhat desolate village. The gravel road to the top is extremely rough. Don’t attempt it in muddy or icy weather. Walking may be a better option unless you have an appropriate vehicle. From the top, there is a modest viewing area that allows you see Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska (and of course Kansas) on a clear day. It demonstrates that Kansas is part of the Loess Hills region, even though there are few hiking opportunities in this part of the state.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Prairie Garden Trust preserves a naturally diverse area about 40 minutes southeast of Columbia near New Bloomfield. This 240-acre park is privately owned and can be visited by appointment-only from April 1-Oct. 31. It offers more than 10 miles of natural surface trails beside ponds, through prairie and forest and below a rocky bluff rising above Hillers Creek. We love this place!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This park, bordering Columbia, is one of the state’s busiest. Water has carved sinkholes, cliffs and the park’s namesake natural bridge in this rocky, forested environment. If you want a less-traveled part of the park, the Gans Creek Natural Area offers a stunning six-mile loop.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Columbia Beyond the College: Rocky Rises and Crystalline Streams Await - KATY Trail at Rocheport/Diana Bend Conservation Area</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is one of the most popular parts of the KATY Trail, but there’s still plenty of room for everyone. Hop on the trail in Rocheport and you can walk through an 1892 rail tunnel which runs underneath Diana Bend Conservation Area. You can then walk up a steep stairwell to the top for a stunning view. If you head the other direction (south) you’ll quickly meet the Missouri River and spectacular limestone bluffs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Spring Day Trip: Mighty Bluffs and Rocky Rises Near Columbia - The Pinnacles</image:title>
      <image:caption>This small but spectacular park north of Columbia is centered on a jagged, toothy ridge that divides two streams. It’s a popular destination for MU students, so if you want a smaller crowd, visit in the morning or during the week.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Spring Day Trip: Mighty Bluffs and Rocky Rises Near Columbia - Rock Bridge Memorial State Park</image:title>
      <image:caption>This park, bordering Columbia, is one of the state’s busiest. Water has carved sinkholes, cliffs and the park’s namesake natural bridge in this rocky, forested environment. If you want a less-traveled part of the park, the Gans Creek Natural Area offers a stunning six-mile loop.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Spring Day Trip: Mighty Bluffs and Rocky Rises Near Columbia - KATY Trail at Rocheport/Diana Bend Conservation Area</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is one of the most popular parts of the KATY Trail, but there’s still plenty of room for everyone. Hop on the trail in Rocheport and you can walk through an 1892 rail tunnel which runs underneath Diana Bend Conservation Area. You can then walk up a steep stairwell to the top for a stunning view. If you head the other direction (south) you’ll quickly meet the Missouri River and spectacular limestone bluffs.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Everyone can appreciate the Great Smoky Mountains, but 13 million visitors? That's an LA traffic jam in Appalachia. The least-visited national park in the lower 48 (Isle Royale) is a remote, mountainous island in Lake Superior only accessible by boat or sea plane. It's on my bucket list. Of course, state and national parks represent only a small part of our area's hiking opportunities. County parks, Corps of Engineers land, wildlife refuges and more offer miles of hiking. Carpe diem!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Get wet and wild with these three lakeside hikes - Blue Springs Lake North Shore Trail</image:title>
      <image:caption>This hike begins near the dam of Blue Springs Lake. It’s a single-track mountain bike trail that follows the lakeshore 4.5 miles. That’s point-to-point, so if you walk the whole things, it’s nine miles. This wild trail brings you in constant contact with the lakefront and waterfowl, winds through craggy boulders and cliffs and cuts through deep woods.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Get wet and wild with these three lakeside hikes - Wyandotte County Lake</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s been called a rural retreat within the city limits. In western Wyandotte County you’ll find 1,500 acres of woodland surrounding the 400-acre lake. An approximately 19-mile trail system loops the entire park, weaving through the hilly, forested terrain. Don’t let the length scare you off: You can walk or bike as much or little as you want. There are numerous access points, allowing you to customize your journey. Expect to see waterfowl, boaters and serene surroundings.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Get wet and wild with these three lakeside hikes - Pleasant Hill City Lake</image:title>
      <image:caption>Single track mountain bike trails hug the shore of City Lake, weaving in and out of the adjacent forest. Although it’s called City Lake, this lake is in a quiet, rural setting accessed only by gravel roads. Often you’ll be the only person on the trail and hear only the call of birds and the rustling of leaves. The west side of the lake is rockier and more challenging than the east side. Two floating bridges cross the lake on the north side. This trail is a 3.5-mile loop that requires walking about one mile on a gravel road to return to the trail head. If you don’t want to do that, you can simply turn around and walk 2.5 miles back.</image:caption>

But get a few miles away in either direction and you’ll experience the serenity of this mighty stream. Not only that, a local outfitter can equip you to float the Missouri through Downtown Kansas City (and other places). Locations to experience the bluffs, shore and bottomland forest of the Missouri River include:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three natural features many Kansas Citians miss - The Flint Hills</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kansas can be the butt of jokes for its alleged flatness and humdrum topography. But it’s just not true. The Flint Hills encompass hundreds of miles of rolling and rocky hills. It’s true cowboy country, with cattle and ranches outnumbering people. While much of the Flint Hills is private land, there are several trails and public areas to explore. Highlights include:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three natural features many Kansas Citians miss - What are the Loess Hills?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Loess Hills are wind-blown deposits that resulted in riverside hills that appear “wrinkled.” The soft nature of the soil results in steep ravines and sheer drops. Originally covered with prairie, agricultural practices have led to many of the hills becoming covered in forest. Still, some natural areas remain. The hills generally begin in Platte County, Mo., and follow the Missouri River north all the way to South Dakota. Sometimes the hills appear on the east and west sides of the river. There are several places to appreciate this unique geological feature. In fact, drive north on I-29 and you’ll parallel them for several hours.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three top Kansas City hikes for Memorial Day weekend - Watkins Mill State Park</image:title>
      <image:caption>Excelsior Springs, Missouri Watkins Mill is both a state park and National Historic Landmark. You can get plenty of steps in exploring the historic 1870s agricultural manor, complete with farm animals, a cultivated garden and multi-story textile factory. Beyond that, there’s a 3.8-mile loop around Watkins Mill Lake that cuts through deep forest, passes a waterfall and provides panoramic views of the reservoir.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three top Kansas City hikes for Memorial Day weekend - Antioch Park</image:title>
      <image:caption>Merriam, Kansas Antioch Park is one of Johnson County’s most visited attractions. With its fountains, looping trails and boardwalks, it can best be described as walking through a suburban garden. Shade trees, picnic areas, lakes and bridges create their own brand of Zen. There is a 1.2-mile paved loop that weaves in and out of all these amenities. In addition, there is a large and unique play area for kids. The upside: It’s beautiful. The downside, if there is one: It’s busy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three top Kansas City hikes for Memorial Day weekend - Get wild on the Augie Trail</image:title>
      <image:caption>Lake Jacomo, Lee’s Summit, Mo. Of the three trails listed here, the Augie Trail is the most challenging and remote. Hikers will experience deep forest, numerous rock outcroppings, steep ascents and descents, views of the lake from 100 feet above and quiet coves that rarely get visitors. The 13.5-mile trail has a natural surface and an Ozark vibe. It’s divided into four sections, so you don’t have to scramble all 13 miles at once. It’s a single-track mountain bike trail, but walkers are welcome. Although the trail is well maintained, wear insect repellant just to be safe. Bring water and prepare to be wowed by nature.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The image on the left is somewhat interesting, but lacks a clear focal point. Am I supposed to look at the poppies or the railroad signal device? The image on the right is cropped (with black and white) to highlight where the true focus of the image should be. To highlight the colorful poppies, this photo needed to focus more closely on the flowers and exclude more of the mundane background.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three easy tips to improve your nature photography</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shooting into the sun often gets results like the top photo; you can get creative effects by positioning the sun behind objects (backlighting); you can also let the sun illuminate the environment it’s facing, as in the lower photos which point the camera away from the sun.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three easy tips to improve your nature photography</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tripods help steady the often unperceptible movements of our hands when we’re taking photos. Although motion is never a plus, its impact is more severe at night and in dark environments.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This example, taken at Pleasant Hill City Lake, shows the difference editing can make. Far from distorting or embellishing the original, the edited version brings the viewer closer to the naked eye view.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three easy tips to improve your nature photography</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Nikon D3200 is an affordable, entry-level DSLR camera. It’s a great camera to get introduced to the DSLR world and learn what’s behind great photos.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three easy tips to improve your nature photography</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you don’t want to carry or store a tripod, a monopod is a second-best option for steadying your camera, whether it’s a phone, DSLR or point-and-shoot. The Dolica Monopod extends to 67 inches, but there are also shorter options.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiking KC Blog - Explore Trails in Kansas City - Three easy tips to improve your nature photography</image:title>
