Winter at Pink Rock is pure magic. Missouri’s ancient pink granite at Castor River Shut-Ins glows rose-gold against frost-rimmed pools, with zero crowds and crisp air that makes every step unforgettable. We brought locals Alex Buerck and Evie Ford for a sunrise hike filled with laughs, hot chocolate on icy boulders, and a great blue heron stealing the show. See why winter is the best time to visit this hidden gem—and grab trail tips for your own adventure!
