From the Publisher
“Hiking Missouri by Kevin Lohraff will help people enjoy and understand outdoor Missouri. Kevin has featured many of Missouri's most interesting trails with up-to-date, first hand information that will be helpful both in planning a hike and in doing one. Kevin's knowledge and skill as a naturalist show through in each trail description as he shares insight on the plants, animals, geology, conservation, and cultural history that make each trail special. He has chosen trails that highlight the diverse landscapes and natural features of Missouri. Many of the routes traverse designated Missouri Natural Areas. Because of its strong natural history and conservation content, this book does much more than recommend and describe routes for great hikes. It provides users with background that will help make each hike memorable and a learning experience. Hiking Missouri is a valuable contribution to outdoor recreational enjoyment in this diverse and fascinating state.”
Richard Thom Chief, Natural History Section of the Missouri Conservation Department Chairman, Missouri Natural Areas Committee
