      It really is. I believe there's a great balance of people who love and utilize the trails and public land so that they're taken care of but not so many that trails get ridiculously busy, with a few exceptions... Looking at you Hawksbill Crag 😂

    just got back from AR. Great trip but had a hard time finding anything. Went to the Richland Wilderness Area didn't know that a GPS is almost mandatory. I'm gonna get my physical shape back and try again before the summer tourists. I'm used to Florida where there are signs everywhere to show the way with obvious trails and all the fixins and don't touch rules. Got a brochure at the Witt Springs Info Center. Just Coordinates. Let me know if there are some tricks to be aware of in these type of adventures.

    • @WanderingBlock
      @WanderingBlock  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The reason you didn't find many signs is because Richland Creek is a designated wilderness and a rule for wilderness is that no official trails are built in it. So all trails in the area are social trails and because they aren't maintained they get overgrown easily and can be tricky to navigate.
      If you want to find somewhere with more signs and trails that are easier to follow in the area I recommend checking out some Buffalo National River trails which is ran by the National Park Service. Arkansas also has some nice state parks as well.

    First of you posts I've seen, still watching but great job! On the first fall I don't like to tell folks what to do but I hope it is limited (somehow) to only so many swimmers. With how people are treating the environ in CO these days (like driving off the road in the high country to park where there are signs not to do that -- it takes yrs for the ground to recover at that elevation folks) I'd hate to see like 40 people packed in those swimming holes with all their trash and sunscreen going downstream. Yuck. Best,, from Colorado!

      I believe this was in February. A fairly warm day for winter but still a bit chilly, my favorite time to hike in the Ozarks.
      Heads up tho, these waterfalls are normally pretty dry in the fall unless there's been a lot of recent rain. I don't live in the Ozarks anymore so can't tell you how the weather has been.

      @@micheleb.1737 All towns are going to be over an hour drive from a lot of these places as they are pretty rural. Russellville will be the closest city but the small town of Jasper is probably the closest town.
      I recommend camping, you can dispersed camp along the forest roads (just follow Leave No Trace Principles), it's free, you don't have to drive to and from town each day, and it's a great way to connect with nature.
      There are a lot of private cabin rental options in the Ozarks as well

      The creeks and rivers in the Ozarks get that turquoise color from the sun reflecting off of the limestone sediment in the water.

    What kind of pants is she wearing? Look nice, seem light weight. I need some good outdoor pants for multiple seasons that dry fast and can be good for hiking in the heat. But are kind of loose around the legs, I don't like tight pants for outdoor activities
