We have so many ways to explore our beloved state – from picturesque hikes to this absolutely beautiful scenic drive in Missouri. Whether you’re craving a bit of quiet on the open road or you’re embarking on a family adventure, you’re sure to make memories on this drive. It’s well worth checking out in each season, too, to get a glimpse at the changing landscape.
A drive along Blue Buck Knob National Forest Scenic Byway won't take all day - unless you want to make a day of it. Plan to spend at least a few hours on the road, more if you want to make stops along the way.
If you're driving on a lovely Missouri day, roll down the windows to let the breeze blow in. You'll pass a variety of scenery - towering trees, pastures, and rolling farmland.
