was a pleasant surprise. We found ourselves traveling across the state
during a winter weather advisory (we seem to bring huge storms to many
of our highpoints), but the scenary was nice. We came across a really
cool park, Elephant Rocks. We stopped and
spent some time enjoying the park (the freezing rain also seemed to keep
the crowds away). I would recommend a visit to this park to anyone going
to this highpoint since it isn't very far away. |

The
highpoint is a very nice and quiet place. Missouri keeps the highpoint
in beautiful condition. There is a picturesque winding trail that leads
to the highpoint stone and sign. There are clean restrooms and even
trailmaps at the trailhead. The woods were covered with snow and we
had the place to ourselves on our visit.

| On the way back out, we went by to visit Jakk Longacre (the Highpointers Club founder who lives very close to this highpoint), but no one was home. He has a great location. | |||
