Have you ever noticed how nature really is like a perfectly-created piece of artwork? From white water that rushes over chiseled rocks to fields filled with colorful flowers, nature promises so much beauty. The Turkey Creek Trail in Missouri provides a fun and easy way to enjoy some of Mother Nature’s artwork, no matter what time of the year you set off.
