This place is as perfect as it gets for mountain climbing practice in the state of Missouri. The class 1 hike up Mudlick Mountain is a more than 880 foot elevation increase! The trail compares to a lot of mountain trails in the Appalachians when considering this. As far as views? Don't worry about it! The healthy forest blocks any chance for a good view on this trail and that is a good thing! Just get to working out!
Run up and down it 5 times for a 4,400 foot elevation increase which is comparable to the tallest mountains in the USA. This will help you get prepared for the big league for when you travel to the real mountains. This is a perfect place to practice it!
