๐Ÿ”๏ธ The Trail Experience
This month, we are heading to West County to tackle the gorgeous Bluff View Trail in Wildwood, MO. Known for offering some of the most dramatic, sweeping views in the St. Louis region, this 5.2-mile natural dirt track winds through deep hardwood forests, steps over rocky limestone ridges, and climbs aggressively to a spectacular wooden observation deck overlooking the Meramec River valley.
With crisp air, winding switchbacks, and beautiful high-elevation vistas, this is the perfect mid-range conditioning loop to test your trail legs and build your cardio endurance.
