Rising 1,772 feet above sea level near the old mining town of Middle Brook, Taum Sauk Mountain is Missouri’s highest natural point. But you’d be forgiven for driving right past it. In true Ozark fashion, the summit is less a jagged peak and more a highland glade. A granite marker at the foot of a weathered boulder is about all that distinguishes the spot as significant.

It’s not the most extreme hike in Missouri, unless you’re afraid of deep canyons, rocky rapids, and lofty heights from epic overlooks.
