What are some easy hikes in Missouri?

Some of the best hikes in Missouri are also the easiest. The one-mile Cave Spring Trail in Kansas City, for example, is a kid-friendly hike in Missouri that promises a ton of fun for kiddos (and adults!) of all ages, and it includes some fascinating stone structures. At less than a mile, the Old Kate Trail at Parkville Nature Sanctuary is perhaps best known for its gorgeous waterfall. If you love animals, you can’t go wrong with a trek along the three-mile Drover’s Trail, which meanders through Prairie State Park and offers up-close views of the resident wild buffalo. (Take your camera, and remember not to get too close!)
