Missouri Trails
Cross Country Trail Ride -- Eminence, MO. I have been to the May, June, July and October rides many times since 1990. My favorite ride is May as it is smaller, the weather tends toward balmy days and cool nights. CCTR has many miles of timber trails and gorgeous trails right along the Jacks Fork River. Camping is a little more challenging as the campsites are a little vague -- numbers on trees, posts, you name it -- but for the May ride there are plenty of spots to camp. Reservations are recommended.

Big Piney - 4-J Horse Camp -- SW of Rolla, MO. I have been to this horse camp several times The campground and stalls are great, well marked with electric and water at every campsite. Riding is miles and miles of narrow timber trails with a few miles along the river. No trails are marked so it is a little challenging to find the best trails -- I have found more trails each time I go there. The Laughlin family runs the camp and they treat you like family.

Panther Creek -- Ulman, MO. Nice trails marked well so you can go without guide. The longhorn cattle are all over and fun to watch.
