Sometimes, you just need to take a long drive to clear your mind of daily stresses. Highway 67 in Missouri is a perfect drive for when you have no destination in mind. You will love this quiet drive through conservation areas with beautiful scenery and picturesque small towns. It is an especially beautiful drive in the fall while the leaves are changing color so, now is a great time to hit the road.

Once the highway leaves Jefferson County it splits from U.S. Route 60 and becomes a scenic drive through rural southeastern Missouri .
