Trail Conditions
Excellent, well maintained, travelled. Typical rocky Ozark hill country. Creek crossing caution after recent rain.
Clifty Creek Conservation Area, one of just a few natural bridges found in Missouri, NW of Rolla, short 3mile loop, allows backpack camping or at the trailhead parking lot Have visited this trail half a dozen times while revisiting taking others.

I think this is the best arch in Missouri. Though the natural tunnel at Bennett Springs SP, though not an arch is great. The natural tunnel is the length of a football field and big enough to drive a car through. Have you done it?
