Hike Description:
Learn the stories of freedom seekers crossing the Missouri River into the town of Quindaro during their journey on the underground railroad. We'll explore the ruins buried in the hillside of these pre-civil war structures of this pivotal town that changed our history. The terrain has steep hills and is rocky 2-2.5 hrs 3 miles.
Meeting spot:
John Brown Statue
3440 N 27th St, Kansas City, KS 66104.
Considerations:
**There are no physical restrooms on the trail. Anyone is welcome to use the great outdoors, though, if needed. Sometimes, the terrain is steep with loose rocks. If you rely on hiking sticks when you hike, we advise you to bring them. Please wear closed-toed shoes. Hiking boots, hiking shoes, or tennis shoes are ideal. If it's been raining, wear shoes that can get muddy. For more information, contact John Proctor, jproctor1609@gmail.com
