Welcome to my hiking blog where I feature my adventures hiking Missouri and around the USA. Each post features YouTube hiking videos of me on the trail, photos, custom maps, and my trail review.
“Let’s go on a hike y’all.”
Ozark Trail: Taum Sauk Section | Day 15
I hike passed Missouri’s tallest waterfall, Mina Sauk Falls (132ft), and summited Missouri’s tallest peak, Taum Sauk Mountain (1,772ft), all with in a 6.2 mile hike on the Taum Sauk Section of the Ozark Trail.
Ozark Trail: Taum Sauk Section | Day 14
Possibly the most beautiful day on the Ozark Trail, and the most physically demanding. It’s Day 14 of my Ozark Trail Thru-Hike and I cover 13.4 rocky and rugged miles on the Taum Sauk Section from Goggins Mountain to Proffit Mountain (1,703ft) straight through the heart of Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park.
Ozark Trail: Taum Sauk Section | Day 13
It’s still Day 13 on the Ozark Trail. I’ve just finished breakfast at Ottery Creek and I’m about to set out on the Taum Sauk Section from the Hwy A trailhead. The next 10 miles will take me through the Bell Mountain wilderness, past several Missouri glades, and up Goggins Mountain for a beautiful night camping with a view.
