The Frisco Highline Trail is a rails to trails project trail which spans 35 miles from Springfield to Bolivar. Or does it? At the Bloivar Trailhead there is a "you are hear" sign that say you are at the end of the trail. There is more trail past it though. .15 mile more. A very cool bridge over the road is part of it. So is this short walk and bridge part of the FHT? I wanted to find out. I walked this short distance and found a sign. It was at the end of the trail where it splits going into a sidewalk to the west and a dead end residental road to the east. The sign implied that a sertain government agency maintained past this point but, past that point is a city sidewalk and of course the dead end road side has no where to go. So is this part of the FHT? Does the mileage go backwards past the end? Into the negatives?
The FHT passes through major trail heads in Willard, Walnut Grove, and Wishart along the way from Springfield to Bolivar. The trail offers a lot of outside activities includeing Biking, walking, easy hiking, running including mini marathons and fundraising events. In some areas it is also open to horseback riding and bmx type biking. Us local cachers know it as 35 miles of prime caching real estate. This northern end doesn't have much in the way of caches. They are far between for about the last 4-5 miles on the this end. In the last year this part of the FHT has only one active cache in the northmost 1.5 miles.
Enjoy the trail and only cache from sun-up to sun-down as all trail rules signs state. No motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail. Parking cords have been provided.
