Hidden Wonders: Backbacking the O'ark Trail at Taum Sauk Mountain in Missouri | Backpacker.com

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

See Missouri's tallest waterfall and stand on its tallest peak on this overnight on the Taum Sauk section of the Ozark Trail.

In just a couple of hours on the Ozark Trail, I’ve already hit the state high point and the state’s tallest waterfall. And yet the big and the tall aren’t what make the Ozarks great. The miniature forests of lichens, the tiny pools at the foot of quiet cascades, and the glades hidden within rolling hills prove that here, in southeastern Missouri, it’s all about the small stuff. And count yourself among the little things, because that’s exactly how you’ll feel amid the deep forests of oak, walnut, and maple that seem to go on forever.
