The View From This Little-Known Overlook In Missouri Is Almost Too Beautiful For Words

We're never too far from gorgeous views, no matter where we live in the state. From sweeping mountain ranges to cascading waterfalls, Missouri never disappoints when it comes to views. One of the best ways to admire those views is from an overlook. This little-known overlook in Missouri, for example, sits along a scenic trail and provides a picture-perfect backdrop for a leisurely picnic.

Pack a picnic for your journey along the picturesque Beulah Trail, which wanders 4.4 miles through Greensfelder County Park in Pacific.

Even if you're not up for a hike, you'll have a ton to do in the park. It's home to a nature learning center, a playground, and campsites.

The forest trail earns a moderate rating from AllTrails. However, hikers assert it's on the easy side. Beginners may find it a bit challenging.

Beulah Trail is all about views, and it's one of those trails that you really have to experience in each season. Vibrant colors paint the path in the fall, and...

Snow sprinkles the landscape in the winter.

Colorful wildflowers dot the landscape during the warmer months.

Don't forget your camera, because you'll run into some pretty amazing features along the path - from boulders to...

Local wildlife. You might share the path with tortoises and deer - as well as bikers and joggers.

Then...the grand finale. The overlook offers sweeping views of lush forest land. Grab a seat on the bench to drink in the views.

Sit down to a leisurely picnic.

Or just stand back and enjoy some of the prettiest natural views in Missouri.
