2023 Exploring Roots
Summer Adventure Challenge
About the Event
What is Exploring Roots?
The Exploring Roots Summer Adventure Challenge is a FREE event hosted by the Heartland Conservation Alliance. Each month from July-September, HCA will spotlight a trail in Kansas City and encourage visitors and locals to register, hike, and earn prizes.
The best part about the Summer Adventure Challenge is that it is all about what works best for YOU. Bring the family or hike solo. Reschedule in case of rain. Hit the trails bright and early, or make it a plan for after work.
How does it work?
When you visit a trail, look for the Exploring Roots signs. Hike to your chosen distance and take a selfie near the sign, then be sure to show your selfie to the staff at the pickup location to earn your prize.
Where are the trails?
Note: If you are routed to Parvin Estates Apartments, the Hidden Valley Park is directly to the right.
*Grand Prize Rules: For a chance to win the grand prize, you must take a selfie with the Exploring Roots event sign and register for the event. If you are the winner, you must show HCA staff your selfie photo during the prize pickup. HCA will randomly draw a name from the list of registrants and notify them via email.
