3 Scenic Hikes for those who Love the View (Missouri Edition)

K.Kay - Slow Path Adventures Author

Real trails. Real photos. Real experience.

Hi there! I’m K.Kay, the voice behind Slow Path Adventures.

I’ve spent the last 12 years exploring Missouri’s stunning trails and state parks—venturing through 88 parks and uncovering countless hidden gems.

Every photo you see on this site? I took it myself. Every tip? I learned it firsthand through experience (and yes, sometimes the hard way!). I’m here to help you skip the trial-and-error so you can just enjoy the journey.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. – Psalm 19:1

**I took this photo as a bad storm was starting to roll in. We were back at the campground. This photo has not been doctored in any way. This is exactly how my Android phone showed it.

"When I am outside in nature, I am at peace with God."
