| The Mina Sauk Falls trail head starts at a graveled parking lot, making it a short walk to the top of Taum Sauk Mountain. |
 |
| The Taum Sauk Mountain highpoint is on the way to Mina Sauk Falls. |
 |
| A 1,000-foot long concrete sidewalk leads you from the parking lot to the Missouri highpoint. |
 |
| At the end of the sidewalk is the highest point of natural elevation in the state of Missouri. |
 |
| "Climb" is not the most accurate verb describing how you get to the top of Taum Sauk Mountain. |
 |
| The highpoint of Missouri has a boulder, marble tablet, trail register, and a bench to rest after the "climb". |
 |
| In 1991 the Missouri Association of Registered Land Surveyors identified the top of Taum Sauk Mountain as the highest elevation of Missouri at 1,772.68 feet above mean sea level. |
