Autumn’s splendor promises crisp, golden days and breathtaking foliage. Because the fall foliage, especially at its peak, is rather fleeting, we have a short time to pack in a lot of leaf peeping. Fall in Missouri, after all, means picturesque hikes, scenic drives, and even ziplining to get a peek at the beautiful colors. For another unique leaf peeping adventure, go horseback riding in Missouri this autumn.
