The Ozark Trail

With almost 400 miles of completed trail in Missouri, the Ozark Trail very easily holds my interest. A few years ago, I lived in Maryland and very quickly became involved with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. I've always enjoyed hiking but the idea fascinated me of starting a walk on a trail in Georgia and not having to stop until you reach Maine. I began researching the Appalachian Trail. I read a couple of books, got involved with trail maintenance, and took a few hikes. I was hooked. Now I call Missouri home and I find the same kind of fascination in the Ozark Trail. Although in its infancy, the OT has the same rising support that the AT once endured.
