I like to hike on the Ozark Trail. It is a trail in the Missouri Ozarks.
I've never went hiking before! Where is the Ozark Trail located?
It is in the US state Missouri. It will eventually reach from St. Louis to Arkansas when it is completed.
That sounds like a long journey. How do people get started in hiking?
You just start walking, haha. There will also be horseback riding, mountain biking, and trail camping available on the Ozark Trail.
What about gear? Anything you recommend or have any tips for beginners? Wow that sounds fun, definitely add Ozark Trial to my bucket list.
If you are hiking on a trail, which is a path or an unpaved road, then all you really need is food, water and GPS.
Great, I'm definitely a city person and I was worried about getting lost. How do you calculate how much food and water you need? GPS as in compass or my phone with work?
Trail
A trail is usually a path, track or unpaved lane or road. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland path or footpath is the preferred term for a walking trail. The term is also applied, in North America, to routes along rivers, and sometimes to highways. In the US, the term was historically used for a route into or through wild territory used by emigrants (e.g. the Oregon Trail). In the USA "trace" is a synonym for trail, as in Natchez Trace
