If I had to pick a favorite season to be out on the Ozark Trail, it would be winter. No bugs, no snakes, the wonderful crisp clear air, and great views through the leafless trees. I've experienced ice storms, and snow while out on the Ozark Trail, and both are great experiences, of course if you're prepared for them!
Be ready for water crossings, I prefer to use sandals with neoprene socks to cross and then put the boots back on. Take a towel to dry your feet off too. Another wonderful treat of hiking during the winter are frost flowers, keep your eyes open for them in the mornings.
Have a great winter hike, or ride out on the trail!
