designated for the preservation of ‘natural & wild places’ and ‘biodiversity’.

Meet at the Gans Creek Trailhead (South Rock Quarry Road parking area) (Rock Quarry Road at Hwy 163).

Why: To experience the beauty and health benefits of trails in the vicinity of Columbia, MO; to be an advocate for our wild and scenic resources. And to meet like-minded people who love hiking in the Ozark Highlands

  • Sturdy hiking boots
  • water (1-2 liters)
  • snacks to share
  • hiking stick (if desired).Be prepared for inclement weather.
