How lucky are we to live in a state that’s just chock full of breathtaking natural scenery? We have plenty of ways to explore Missouri, too, from taking a leisurely drive on a Sunday afternoon to going for a picturesque bike ride. We also have a ton of pretty Missouri trails to choose from, too, including this relatively short hike that leads to a quaint waterfall.
Nestled among the 429-acre Glassberg Family Conservation Area, in Eureka, is a picture-perfect trail that leads to a quaint waterfall and a sensational overlook.
