The Best of Missouri

So, we've heard that the Whispering Pines Trail in Hawn State Park is arguably one of the best trails to hike in Missouri.  We would have to say that those people make a pretty good argument.  Today we took a stroll on the 6 mile North Loop.  What a great trail!  The constant scent of pine trees and rocky landscape made it feel like a hike in Colorado.  We plan to head back and hit the South Loop pretty soon.

White Oaks Trail

Today we hit up the 4.4 mile White Oaks Trail in Hawn State Park. Another perfect day for hiking! As usual, Arnie and Aspen really enjoyed the hike. We're gonna return later and hike the Whispering Pines trail also.

Breaktime!
