Exploring the Parkville Nature Sanctuary
The main trail takes you through the valley below the dam of Riss Lake. There are several short but, nice trails. The White Tail Trail takes you up the side of the valley to the top of a ridge overlooking the Missouri River. This trail is the longest at 1.5 miles. It’s well maintained and a great place to get away and escape from busy city life. I walked up to the waterfall which wasn’t much of a waterfall. My area didn’t get a lot of snow this winter so the water levels were pretty low but, it was still beautiful. Even though it was low you could still hear the relaxing sound of trickling water.
My iPhone 6 was giving me issues and the camera would focus in and out so much my photos would come out blurry. My new iPhone is a huge improvement. I was able to get a lot of amazing pictures. Played with some of the filters, portrait mode, and the live photo feature. I still have a lot to learn but, I’m glad that upgraded.
Since I live in an area of the country were native timber and dense forest are a rarity it’s nice having a place like this close by. And, I can’t wait to see it in the spring in full bloom. If you live in the Kansas City area or plan on visiting this is a place to check out.
