Where to hike in midwestern US?

I haven’t done any camping in about 5 years, but now I’ve got an itch to go on a long, difficult hike in the wilderness. I was looking at the Missouri state parks, but I’m not sure which parks are meant for families and young children and which are for strong backpackers, and I found the website somewhat difficult and unhelpful.

Ideally, I’d like to camp over 1-2 nights enjoying natural beauty and seeing as few traces of civilization as possible. Some big hills or small mountains, or any elevation change really would be desirable.

I’m willing to drive to just about anywhere in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, or Nebraska
