From the time we’re very little, we often hear that hard work offers great rewards. We can say the same thing when it comes to some of the more challenging hiking trails in Missouri. The Eagles Bluff Overlook Trail in Missouri, for example, will likely challenge you with its steep climb and stairs. However, you’ll be rewarded with some of the prettiest views around.

Get ready for a pretty good workout along the Eagles Bluff Overlook Trail, tucked in the Eagles Bluff Conservation Area in Columbia.
