There are almost 5 miles of trail, but if you hike at a slow pace or don't take your bike very fast, then this will keep you occupied for a while.
It's arranged in a loop, so you don't have to worry about backtracking through and making it a double trip.

Alternatively, you can keep going around the path for as long as you like. Maybe you'll catch something you missed the first time!
It's a fantastic place for a mountain bike, but no one's going to make sure you have one.

Just be sure to let them pass you and you'll be fine. Don't forget your bug spray and high socks!
One of the best parts about this trail are the fascinating rock formations you can explore from the comfort of your own city.

Head out and grab a lunch to go and stop for a picnic while you're surrounded by this wonderful wooded area. Just make sure not to leave anything behind!
Of course, many users of this trail recommend bringing a map, just in case. This is Kansas City after all, and it's easier to get lost than you think!

Swope Park is open all the time, but I wouldn't stick around after dark. As always, happy travels!
