The Sandstone Canyon is the more popular trail at the park, but the LaBarque Hills Trail is well worth a hike as well. โ € โ— Canyons and creeks with dramatic formations are found along this moderate trail. You can see the remains of an old stone dam as well as find some small "caves" to climb inside. With enough rainfall, the small creeks come to life with scenic cascades. ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜จ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ต: ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ป๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜€.๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ โ†–๏ธ๐˜“๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ #thatsmymo @visitmo #exploremidwest #hikemissouri #missouriozarks #missourioutdoors #midwestnomadfamily #midwestmoment #onlyinmissouri #hikemissouri #hikesnearstlouis #hikestl #hikingwithkids #familyhike #familytravel #donrobinsonstatepark #donrobinson #labarquehillstrail
