Missouri's 2nd largest spring is Greer Spring is near Alton, MO, and is one of my favs! I.8 mile hiking trail to get to it and then a short climb down few rocks to get to the cave.

Big Spring is located near Van Buren, MO. It is the biggest in Missouri in terms of average daily discharge of 276 million gallons each day. This is one of the largest springs in the world. There is a 1.8 hiking trail that starts at the spring.

Located between the Bitterroot Mountains and the Sapphire Mountains in Montana is the Bitterroot River. Fisherman love it here for the fresh trout. The river is absolutely beautiful and is mesmerizing when sitting beside it. There are numerous hiking trails in the mountains of course. The other side of the Bitterroot Mountains is the Idaho Selway Mountains.

Tanyard Creek in Bella Vista, Arkansas has a creek featuring this waterfall, hiking trails, and biking trails. The water level is low due to the lack of rain. The trails are easy and suitable for all ages.

This gorgeous beach is near Seadrift, Texas, located on the Gulf Coast. The beach is covered in seashells washed up from a recent 2020 hurricane. You can hear the wind blowing and waves crashing against the shore. The Gulf Coast is lined with beautiful beaches and this one is no exception.

Natural Falls State Park on the Oklahoma-Arkansas border features this beautiful waterfall and several hiking trails. 120 acres encompass this park located west of Siloam Springs, Arkansas in Colcord, Oklahoma. There are plenty of options for hiking depending on skill level, although I wouldn't consider any of them difficult. The waterfall was featured in the movie Where The Red Fern Grows and is easily accessible from the parking lot.

The water at Glacier National Park in Montana is absolutely the most beautiful shade of blue I've ever seen. The temp of the water is icy cold as it comes straight out of the mountains. The rocks are various shades of red, gray, and brown. 700 miles of hiking trails of varying difficulties encompass the park so there is something for everyone. The visitor center at the Continental Divide is a great place to stop after driving the winding road up to the top of the mountain.
