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: Courtois Section | Day 17
Can I backpack 25 miles in a single day!?? When I set out on my Ozark Trail thru hike the idea of hiking 25 miles in a single day was beyond me. Covering that many miles in a day was something only “true” thru hikers could achieve. My plan for the 48-mile Courtois Section of the Ozark Trail was to break it up over three 16-mile days. And then I started walking.
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.
