Pickle Springs Fall Starter hike
Details
Lets hike at Pickle Springs.
Pickle Springs Natural Area is a geological wonderland with scenic waterfalls and cool box canyons that harbor unusual plants and animals. Enjoy the blossoms of rose azalea along the sandstone valley in the spring. Besides the geology, this site supports over 250 vascular plant species including many uncommon species that are considered glacial relicts. These relict species are those that were more common thousands of the years ago when Missouri's climate was cold and wet because of glaciation.
