WHKSAB hikes are not set up as guided hikes. We will provide basic info on trails. Everyone will hike on their own (within their own group) and at their own pace. We recommend you ALWAYS hike with at least one other person. Make sure if you attend by yourself at least one other person in your hiking group knows who you are. Please have emergency contact info and necessary medical info noted on a card in your backpack. It is a good idea to let someone in your hiking group know the location of your emergency contact info/medical info.

We suggest that each hiker utilizes the AllTrails app during the hike and previews the trails prior to hike day. You will need to download info from AllTrails before going into the hike due to possible low Wi-Fi/zero capability. A paid version of AllTrails is needed for this download and access to it since there will possibly be no Wi-Fi signal in the hike areas. At least one person in each hiking group should have a paid version of AllTrails. Specific hiking trails will be discussed at a later date.

We will have planned group hiking set up for Wed morning (starting around 8-9a....more details to follow) through Fri morning (ending at noon). Please download these trails in your AllTrails app after you are notified which trails we will be hiking. We will share the proposed itinerary approximately one-two weeks prior to the event.

Hikers make their own lodging accommodations. Please start your research work now regarding accommodations. The three Kansas City metro areas we will be hiking in/or closest to will be: Lee's Summit, MO; Independence, MO; and Blue Springs, MO.

****The address listed for this event is for the Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce...only due to the fact that an address was necessary for Eventbrite. It is NOT a hike location.****
