Laclede County Travel Guide

Missouri

On a cold January day I went for a hike down a long trail in the middle of nowhere to see the land bridge tunnel at Bennett Springs State Park. On the walk I had to cross several streams, the snow and ice was beginning to melt as the sun began to come out, and the crisp cold air really made for a great scene with the green moss on the rocks! Beautiful hike on a day that most would have stayed in and warm. #LifeAtExpedia

The Natural Tunnel trail did not disappoint with flowing streams and bright green algae. By the time I had reached this creek location most of the snow had melted from the late morning sun/heat. #Nature #Trovember #LifeAtExpedia
Another natural waterfall along the Natural Bridge Trail at Bennett Springs State Park in Missouri. As the sun came out and the light dusting of snow melted, I couldn't get enough of how clear the water was and how green the moss on the rocks were. #Nature
The day may have started out with snow on the ground, but the cold hike was worth getting to see all of the running water flowing around mossy rocks and around melting ice sheets. This creek bed flowed into and through a large natural tunnel located at the end of the 7 mile Natural Tunnel Trail at Bennett Springs State Park in Missouri. It was a relatively easy hike, but a little long. There was plenty of wildlife and scenery along the way to make it worth it though! #Nature #Trovember #LifeAtExpedia
