Urban Walk #10: To The Plaza and Back
Though I'm currently doing 2-3 mile walks a few times a week, I'm only posting the longer ones on my blog.
This afternoon I took a walk to the Plaza and back. The loop was 11.4 miles and took about 3-1/2 hours to complete. I took 16,296 steps and burned 1,147 calories.
As I was walking along I could not help but notice what a truly beautiful city Kansas City is. Both natural and architectural beauty. And there are so many details -- tiny little quirky shops, overlooked stonework, and fascinating architecture. Much of this can only really be noticed by touring the city on foot. If you have only experienced Kansas City by car, you are truly missing out.
As usual I took several photos along the way. Click on the route map below to launch the photo gallery.

Holy cow man. Did you use a GPS for that or did you just trace your route on the map? That is quite a walk...

Hey I use to live in KC years ago in the Afton apts. I was wondering if in your walks and photos you could capture an image of it and maybe some of the area around it so I could reminisce. I would appreciate it.
