Lenexa’s Little Mill Creek Trail cuts through six(!) parks in a mostly shaded environment that includes backyards, water and woodlands. You can begin at scenic Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park and pass under 87th Street through a pedestrian tunnel. tinyurl.com/28xtkhbf

It’s easy to get wild at Lawrence Nature Park. This 100-acre reserve includes about 3 miles of looping, natural surface trails. The environment includes woodlands, grasslands, rock outcroppings and part of the watershed of Baldwin Creek. kansascityhiker.com/kansas-c…

Big Bull Creek Park, near Edgerton, is Johnson County’s “back country.” About seven miles of trails weave through forest, prairie and ravines in the watershed of Big Bull Creek. This generally quiet park is one of the county’s less-traveled. tinyurl.com/mty4tym2

Fall color alert! Olathe’s Cedar Niles Park offers a paved 4-mile out-and-back with three trailheads. The trail winds through rolling hills, forest and wide prairie areas. There are multiple bridged creek crossings plus a 4.5-mile single track dirt trail. tinyurl.com/238sv78t

When you view an elegant roof with precision tiles, they must be made of clay or slate – right? In fact, they may be made of cement. These manufactured tiles possess the same durability as clay and slate. Contact us for a 100% free consultation. FidlerOnTheRoof.com

Clay, slate and stone tiles set a roof apart. Too bad everyone can't have them. Or can they? While some roofs can't structurally support heavy materials, nearly all can support alternatives including synthetic slate, stone and wood-shake roofing. fidlerontheroofkc.com/blog/s…

Leave the office behind on the North Shore Trail at Blue Springs Lake. This 4.5-mile natural surface trail takes you off the beaten path. Weave in and out of rock formations, walk beneath forest canopy, then trudge lakeside. kansascityhiker.com/jackson-…

Maple Woods Natural area is a 60-acre preserve in Gladstone that’s an outpost of old-growth forest. It provides a glimpse of pre-development Kansas City. Fall colors are dazzling because of the concentration of maple trees. kansascityhiker.com/clay-cou…

Lawrence’s Wells Overlook Park is an excellent place to stop, catch your breath, have a picnic or soak up the sun. It includes a multi-story tower and the Passerine Pavilion. Visitors can see several miles in most directions. kansascityhiker.com/waypoint…
