| no partners | | This was a hike to the high point of the Devil's Backbone Wilderness in south central MiseryMissouri.
I started the hike at the McGarrs Ridge TH, which is just off of a paved road.
A maintained trail took me to within 300 feet or so of the high point; it was an easy walk from the trail to the high point.
It was an enjoyable hike through mixed hardwoods. There was a bit of fall color, but I was a week or two too early for some nice fall foliage.
I saw an armadillo on the way back to the TH; that was the first one of them that I have ever seen on a hike.
This hike was 1.82 miles with 138 feet of AEG. Stats above include mileage and elevation gain for 6 county high points that I visited along the way to and from this hike:
Roberts County TX: 0.64 miles with 37 feet of AEG
Beaver County OK: 3.61 miles with 71 feet of AEG
Jasper County MO: 0.25 miles with 10 feet of AEG
Ballard County KY: 0.75 miles with 46 feet of AEG
