Trailhead to the Ozark Highlands Trail offering forested ridgelines, sandstone bluffs, creek crossings and sweeping valley vistas — excellent for landscape and nature photography. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light on rock faces; spring for wildflowers and summer for lush canopy; peak fall color in Oct–Nov. Accessible via Old Hwy 7 with a small gravel parking area; no fee. Trails vary from easy paths to rugged sections—bring boots and water. Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds.
