As another one of St. Louis’ beloved urban outdoor trails, Grant’s Trail is a lovely spot for easy hiking, running, and biking in the city. For beginners and families, it’s a great spot for hiking in St. Louis. The trail is completely paved and passes by horse pastures, creeks, forests, and wildflower-filled fields, and because it’s an out-and-back trail, you can hike for as long or as little as you’d like.

In our opinion, the Elephant Rocks Trail is one of the coolest and most unique hikes near St. Louis. Located in Elephant Rocks State Park, the highlight of this short, easy trail is the massive boulders that you’ll find overlooking a quiet pond below. Other things you’ll find on the trail include forests, stone house ruins, and views of the surrounding forests. Hikers and children will love this area because there are lots of rocks to explore and climb!

For a more nature-inspired experience, head to the Hawk Ridge Trail to the west of St. Louis for a peaceful, paved hike through forests and meadows. Along the way, you’ll see towering, centuries-old trees, lakes, and wildflowers in the warmer months of the year. As the trails are completely flat, they’re perfect for hikers of all levels, including younger children and families.

At less than an hour from St. Louis, the Sandstone Canyon Trail is a perfect option for those wanting to see a canyon area rather than miles of dense forests. The draw of this trail is the surprisingly large sandstone canyon (obviously) that you can find deeper into the hike, but there are also small surprises – waterfalls, ruins, and almost tropical-looking plants – along the way. Locals love this trail because it’s pretty close to the city and has lots of impressive rock formations to see and explore.
