Wanted to get out for a quick overnight with my hiking buddy (my golden retriever, Jax), headed 5 hours south-east of Kansas City to the Bell Mountain Wilderness. We got there about 10am on Thursday. We hiked up and over Bell Mountain, then turned around and headed back to the top to find a nice spot for the evening, maybe 7-8 miles total, nice easy day. The weather was perfect, was hoping to catch some nice fall colors but it appeared we were a bit early. Enjoyed the great scenery, regardless and had a great time. Woke up early enough to catch a beautiful sunrise the following morning, packed up camp and headed back to the trailhead.
Take the time to get out, if even for a quick overnight, it's always worth it.
Here's the video:
