The views are always nice. It's disappointing that it isn't a struggle to get to Missouri's highest elevation point. You can take a sidewalk about 50 ft from where you park, and then there's a rock and a plaque with the elevation info on it. The Mina Sauk Falls also doesn't flow all year long. Thank you, global warming/people destroying the planet. If you hike here during the winter, wear crampons, bring hiking sticks, and wear a scarf and gloves. There's hardly ever people on the trails when I've been, which has been autumn and winter. The trails easily disappear in the winter, so look for the tags on the trees often. Definitely go the extra mile to the devils toll. It's worth it.
