Hiking

Are you up for a weekend trip? If so, I have an idea in the Ozarks where one hike will take you by 6 sweet waterfalls and they're not hard to reach at all.

There aren't many locations that allow you to walk up to the edge of a waterfall, but that's exactly what's possible in the Illinois Ozarks.

It's one thing to hike a Missouri trail. It's yet another to do it at night. There's a growing trend of nocturnal adventures, but is it serene or Blair Witch Project?

It's often overlooked when you see potential Missouri road trip destinations, but a new drone video shows why Mina Sauk Falls is a must-visit at some point in your life.

I'm not sure what this bear had for dinner, but I do believe it was all of something. A trail cam shows one of these big beasts almost defying the law of physics by fitting himself through a rather small (for a bear) crawlspace under a building.

You're out for a relaxing hike when you sense something is wrong and then you hear something. You look up and learn you're being stalked by a mountain lion in a tree. What would you do? A hiker recently really had to make this urgent decision and lived to tell about it.

One of my favorite comedians likes to joke about everyone talking about their love of hiking online. If you really do like to get out and really do hiking, you should know about Buford Mountain in Missouri. It's a rocky hike, but has a sweet view as a payoff at the end. Oh, and it's an old volcano.

Watching this five-minute-long video of hikers exploring Illinois' famous Little Grand Canyon makes me want to take a trip there to explore it myself ASAP!

It's no small thing in a state with some epic hikes to be called the best. According to one of the most popular hiking websites, the best hike in Missouri features a river and some crazy beautiful views.
