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: Trace Creek Section | Day 16
It’s Day 16 and after a night spent in Ironton, Missouri at an AirBnB with Abby for my final resupply, I’m back on the trail for the final push of my Ozark Trail thru hike. Abby dropped me off at the HWY DD / 32 Trailhead which is near the Middle Fork / Trace Creek connection. I’m hiking north half the Trace Creek Section from Trace Creek mile 17 to Hazel Creek Campground.
Ozark Trail: Trace Creek Section | Day 13
Day 13 on the Ozark Trail started on the Trace Creek Section hiking 5.6 miles from Panther Branch to Ottery Creek on Highway A, which happens to be Mile 0 of the Taum Sauk Section. I figured it was a good idea to split the day into two posts to give the Taum Sauk Section two dedicated posts. But that doesn’t mean this stretch of Trace Creek doesn’t have anything to offer!
