A View From: Kansas City’s Riverfront Heritage Trail
July 19, 2022

Riverfront Heritage Trail is 15 miles. While much of the trail is flat, the bluffs along the Missouri and Kansas rivers have gentle climbs.

The observation deck on the Town of Kansas Bridge offers stellar views of the Missouri River, the railroads that run along it and the bridges that cross it. Especially at sunset, the bridge is a popular spot to enjoy the river vistas. | Photo by Cindy Barks
