With life moving at lightning speed and jam-packed schedules, we don’t always have time for a weekend getaway in Missouri, no matter how much we need it. How about an overnight instead? Escape to the quiet of nature on a picturesque hiking trail in Hillsboro before checking into a charmingly rustic B&B in Bonne Terre for the perfect Missouri getaway.

As you explore Valley View Glades Natural Area in Hillsboro, you’ll quickly discover a visit is an absolute must in each season.

Spanning a cozy 225 acres, the Missouri natural area features a single hiking trail that offers spectacular views of dolomite glades, Missouri evening primrose, and local wildlife, including deer.

Be prepared for a moderately challenging journey along the 2.8-mile trail that has some inclines and can get quite muddy (and icy during the winter). You’ll need a sturdy pair of hiking shoes for your trek on this dog-friendly Missouri trail.

The trail is also quite rocky, so keep an eye out for loose rocks and tree roots jutting out of the ground.
