The Gorgeous 3-Mile Hike In Missouri’s St. Francois State Park That Will Lead You Past A Waterfall, Wildflowers, And A Creek
Nature always seems to find a way to surprise us, especially when we’re hiking. We might run across a sleeping fawn, pass a tiny waterfall, or even catch an unexpectedly brilliant sunrise or sunset. Natural surprises await just about everywhere you turn on this scenic hike in Missouri that’s picture-perfect no matter what time of the year you hike it.
Mooner's Hollow Trail, which spans three miles through St. Francois State Park in Bonne Terre, starts off on an enchanting note: you'll cross a wooden footbridge that will begin your journey along the picturesque trail.
The trail promises natural beauty all year round, but it's particularly pretty when the forest trees are a lush green, providing a protective shield from the sun.
When you're not among the forest trees, you'll pass by colorful wildflowers - perfect for a selfie backdrop or to just take a moment to smell the flowers.
