The Marvelous 3.9-Mile Trail In Missouri Leads Adventurers To A Little-Known Overlook
Missouri was made for exploring, and the best way to do that, hands down, is along one of its many trails. Did you know there are more than 1,290 hiking trails in Missouri? With so many trails, it can be nearly impossible to decide what trail to follow next. Well, if you’re craving a bit of a challenge with some breathtaking rewards, look no further than this trail in Missouri.
If you're yearning for some quiet time in nature and feel up for a bit of challenge, you can't go wrong along the Yellow Loop of the Peewah Trail.
Scoring a moderately challenging rating, the picturesque trail winds through the Indian Creek Wild Area of Trail of Tears State Park. Because of its rating, the trail is typically quiet.
Perhaps the biggest challenge - and risk - you'll face along this scenic path is the steep dropoffs. If you're bringing little ones along, keep an eye on them, and watch your step, too.
Dotted with colorful wildflowers during the warmer months, the Yellow Loop can get muddy and slippery. To make the journey easier and safer, wear a good pair of shoes you don't mind getting dirty.
The warmer months also mean a ton of mosquitoes. Avoid getting bitten by wearing bug spray; bring extra along, too.
All of the natural beauty that lines the trail might help take your mind off of the numerous hills that will greet you along the way. Those who have hiked the trail, however, assert that the inclines aren't too difficult.
