I wanted to hike to a cave in Missouri so I headed to Cave Spring Trail in southeast Missouri. The trail begins at Devil’s Well and follows a 5 mile loop, with an offshoot to Cave Spring along the Current River.

Kid-friendly and ADA accessible Elephant Rocks State Park is the perfect Missouri State Park day trip. This wheelchair accessible MO state park offers lots of outdoor family activities from the picnic and playground areas to the giant elephant rocks to crawl around on and squeeze through.

Here’s my list of the Top 5 Missouri Hiking Trails with the best views. What do you think? Did I miss one? Let me know where to hike in Missouri and I’ll check it out.

White Oaks Trail might not be the best trail at Hawn State Park but it forces you to slow down and appreciate the beauty in the small. Little wildflowers line White Oaks Trail and make this lollipop loop trail an introspective Missouri hiking trail.

I’m back at my favorite Missouri state park solo hiking Pickle Creek Trail in Hawn State Park. This is a lovely little Missouri hiking trail following Pickle Creek. AllTrails has it marked at 1.6 miles out and back, but I cross the creek and create a nice little loop trail.

Featuring a creek and two overlooks without much elevation gain Horseshoe Glad Trail is a perfect kid-friendly hike to add to your trip to Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park in Missouri!

I went chasing waterfalls at Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park just outside Middle Brook, Missouri. I waited for a day after it rained for my solo hike on the Johnson’s Shut-Ins Trail hoping to see some great waterfalls and I wasn’t disappointed.

I switch things up a bit in this YouTube video and explore one of St. Louis County’s biggest parks, Queeny Park. This was really more of a nature walk with the trail being half paved and half rock, but I was lucky enough to catch the Dogwood Trail with all the dogwood trees in full bloom.

Today I head an hour west of St. Louis to Klondike Park in St. Charles County Missouri to hike Hogsback Trail which is a 1.5 mile loop trail I was hoping would have good cliff views… it did not.
