Poorly marked trail, canyon is cool. Could not find remaining trail at about 1.2 mile

Great ride from camp by handy road to falling spring down hurricane creek past Turners Mill and back the Bear pin road. Great fall colors

We cut through on a ridge to get to McCormack Lake sooner to make a shorter loop. Probably too rough on foot.

The Whites Creek Trail was absolutely stunning on horseback and definitely did not disappoint. There were some rather rough steep rocky ledges along the river section and I definitely am glad we chose to go counterclockwise and take the north loop first. Between mile 10 and 14 it can get a little tricky to follow the trail but as long as you’re using your GPS trail map it’s easy to get back on track. Bliss spring was absolutely beautiful and we were glad we took the spur Trail to go view the float camp. It was every bit of 20 miles but well worth it.

If the North Fork River is too high to cross, the Jesse James trail is good to ride if you like up and down trails through trees.

Nice trail with lots of up and downs. New firebreaks will look better with time. They add options for looping.

Great views, something for all levels, overlanding camp sites, maintained roads, cell service. Can get busy, good if you need help, best time to go when trees are bare for the best views. Great for night time off roading. 40ish minutes from Casey’s to air back fully.
Restroom and concert stage at the GTT lookout.

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.
