Good camping at trailhead then 10 miles to a beautiful vista. Camped there, then 7 miles back to the trail head. We did the Big Piney normally in the winter snow & fall. It was our favorite trail during our working years. Normally no tent needed. Good Missouri forest scenery with great exercise.

This is a nice easy section of the trail. There are few good views, but it’s mostly easy trail along creeks and through some nice pine and oak stands.

Trail was in terrible shape. Lost it multiple times. Overgrown, no river access. Never do this one again. This was the least enjoyable hike I’ve ever done.

Good hike, a little hard to find the trail at times, BEAUTIFUL in the fall with the leaves changing.
