Sometime between now and January 17th, I have three new parks I intend to go shoot. Hawn State Park, which is about an hour and a half away, and features a 10 mile trail, which was constructed in 1976 with the help of the Ozark Chapter of the Sierra Club. Evidently there is bobcat and wild turkey in the area. While I’d love to get some nice shots of both, I’m not sure I really want to be confronted with either.
Meramec State Park, is also about an hour and a half away and has two trails of interest: A 1.3 mile trail which consists of caves, glades, mature forest and overgrown beaver meadows. There is also a 10 mile trail which I feel compelled to do only because anything under 10 miles seems like a waste of time. Washington State Park , I’m not sure why I’ve never been here considering it’s only an hour away, but I intend on remedying that very soon. There is a 10 mile trail of interest, and while the web site doesn’t give a lot of information about it, it does say that it’s ten miles of rugged Ozark terrain. If it’s anything like Taum Sauk, it’s guaranteed to be beautiful.
