Fall is here, and the cool weather only gets better as the leaves start to change. Then, when everything is in shades of yellow and orange, it really feels like fall. Good weather is an excellent excuse to get out and enjoy some fresh air, especially if you enjoy long walks in beautiful parks. This trail is under two miles, and perfect for a short fall hike.

Welcome to Overland Park Arboretum, a beautiful park with amazing views all around you.

Within the park, the International Sculpture Garden is an amazing place to have a short hike if you don't want to explore all four miles of the park path. The sculpture garden only needs 0.4 miles of footwork.

These amazing statues are brought here from all over, coming from artists of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Some of them are even interactive, with holes or poses that make it easy to take a picture with your favorite one.
