Ozark Mountain Experience

Northeast Ozark Border
-This portion of the Ozarks is closer to St. Louis and is both culturally
and geologically different than the central Ozarks.
The hills of the Ozarks become more slightly more subdued as one heads towards St. Louis
Although some accept the Ozark border along I-44 heading towards St. Louis to be near
Beaumont/Antire Roads (exit 269), some Ozark type features continue well east of this limit.



Tavern Rock Cave, St. Albans, And The Lewis & Clark Expedition
-Only two days after it started, the Lewis And Clark Expedition almost came to a tragic end.
