Kc has accessible nature all around us

From miles of hiking & biking trails, to beautiful large-scale urban parks the KC area has a ton to offer. We may not be the Rockies, but I challenge to find more diverse opportunities to explore nature than what we have in our own backyard!

I'm already hooked - let's start Nature Therapy
