Trail Signs — The Berryman Trail forms part of the Ozark Trail, and the entire loop is looked after by the Ozark Trail Association, and a very good job they do too. One-minute read, +2

Berryman Trail Mile Marker. There’s a couple of problems with the trail markers and blazes. First the wildlife likes to chew on them, and second, they curl up when they get heated by prescribed burns/wildfires.

Gary at the start of the Berryman Trail — Berryman Campground, Missouri. This will be my last backpacking trip of 2024. I’m nowhere near my goal of hiking 240 miles in 2024, but I’ll be spending the next four days hiking the twenty-seven-mile Berryman Trail. Three-minute read, +4

Found it! The lost trail junction — At last, I have found the elusive point where the Ridge Runner Trail joins the North Fork Loop. And here there are very faint signs of the Ridge Runner Trail I’ve been hunting for over a year.

Back to the start and some notes – From here there is just a short thirty-minute hike, south, down the Ozark Trail to get back to the trailhead. That’s it, trip over, though there’s still the two-hour drive home to complete.

Ozark Trail, trailblaze.

Whites Creek Trail completed – now just to hike the short spur trail back to the parking lot.

Looking back down the trail – the trail turns up the hill here (you can just about make it out in this picture). Most people (including me) appear to miss this. The trail marker is not particularly helpful either.

Back on the Whites Creek Trail – Whites Creek Float Camp spur trail (branching right in the foreground). Time to head back to the trailhead, seven and-a-half miles of hiking and lots of rain in my future.

Not A Trail – This trip I’m planning on taking a trail I’ve never hiked before, I’ve already hiked this ‘Not a Trail.’
