Description

The Mina Sauk Falls Trail is a steep, rocky route through forest to the highest waterfall in Missouri. Along the trail, there are excellent views of the surrounding mountains when passing through glades strewn with rocks. The return trip along the Ozark Trail: Taum Sauk Section follows a creek and isn't quite as rocky as the Mina Sauk Falls Trail.
