Ozark Highlands Trail: Greenhaw Mountain

This is a beautiful section of the OHT, heading slightly uphill on Greenhaw Mountain, and is a relatively easy stretch that passes along a large pine plantation. As you hike along the end of the ridgeline, you'll be treated to fantastic views up and down the valley before descending to Richland Creek. Along the way, you'll see the ruins of the old Moore CCC Camp, which is a nice place for a break to wander and explore the camp ruins. Hiking through this plantation feels like walking into a giant cathedral of trees. The air is cool and fresh, with a nice mix of pine and damp earth aroma that fills your lungs. This is a lovely place to enjoy the quiet, where the only sounds you hear are the leaves rustling and the occasional bird chirping.
