Embark on the Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail Loop for a moderate road cycling adventure through Kansas City's charming urban and residential landscapes. This 13.4-mile (21.6 km) route features a mix of crushed limestone and paved sections, guiding you past old houses and city parks. You will gain 473 feet (144 metres) in elevation, with the ride typically taking around 1 hour and 42 minutes to complete. Keep an eye out for the restored streetcar station at E. 54th Street and Brookside Boulevard, a key landmark along your journey.
When planning your visit, be aware that the trail can become challenging after rain or snow due to drainage issues, potentially leading to rough patches with sinkholes or washed-away gravel. The route is quite popular, especially in its northern sections and during pleasant evenings, so expect to encounter other users. Consider riding during off-peak hours if you prefer a quieter experience, and always be mindful of frequent road crossings.
This trail provides a unique urban cycling experience, tracing the historical path of a former trolley line. The tree-lined sections offer pleasant views, particularly beautiful in the spring and fall, adding to the route's appeal. It's a great way to explore a different side of Kansas City, combining a bit of history with an active outing.
