Ascending Hikes Section: This is a 7-mile hike to Independence Peak in Pence Park, starting from O'Fallon Park, begins with a steady ascent through shaded pine forests, with the trail gradually becoming steeper and rockier. Along the way, you'll encounter scenic overlooks that offer sweeping views of the surrounding foothills and valleys.
