With thousands of caves dotting the Missouri landscape, we probably won’t ever be able to see them all. However, we are pretty fortunate to have some amazing hiking trails with caves along the way. Sheep’s Cave Trail in Missouri, for example, is short and sweet, and it takes you straight to a fascinating cave. You can even bring the littlest ones along on this epic adventure.
