- I made it to Arkansas and found a difficult hike, which also happens to be one of the most dangerous hikes. This is Buffalo National River’s Indian Creek Trailhead to Eye of the Needle! I’ll be hiking up a creek and through waterfalls before enjoying a local beer.

What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

Beautiful hike. I have to admit I was scared for you a couple of times. Glad you made it back safe.
Thank you!!
What a beautiful location. Thanks for sharing
It really was! And you’re very welcome! 😊
What a great video. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Thanks for the adventure.
Yay!! I’m so glad you liked it!
thank you for videoing each step and what to expect.
some videos only show the scenic views of that trail.
What an amazing hike Maddie i was worried about hurting yourself.Great job on your video.Can't wait to see next one and a have a great Week.
Thanks, Jimmy! You have a good week, too!
Amazing footage Maddie, thank you for taking us with you. I loved the video and either way you start your videos is fine by me. Would love to see an extended video of your adventures. Stay safe!
Ok wow, I had major anxiety watching you climb up that slick rock!! Holy cow, great video!!
Thank you! I know what you mean! Watching it back all these times made me more nervous than when I was actually doing it!
That was intense lol I agree, totally worth it. Beautiful!
Yeah!! SO worth it!
Great video. Another place I need to go.
Yeah I hope you do! It was awesome!
Wow the landscapes there are truly amazing! Such vibrant colors!
The water was either clear or a nice pale green, not a bright glacier blue like it appeared on screen! But it was really pretty, that’s for sure!
Holy smokes! This was definitely the most badass thing I’ve seen yet. Handling all of those narrow ledges like they’re nothing! And then you CLIMBED UP A DANG WATERFALL! This was an incredible feat, and I’m sure you must be very proud. Brave, strong, and capable af
Glad you liked it! I had a great time!
You amaze me! I watched this exciting video in two parts... whew!! when we made it back to the van🤾♀️🤸♀️🌞
You did great!!! Beautiful scenery!!!
Thank you so much!
You were so calm doing things I would have died had I tried.
Amazing hike Maddie! You are a trooper! Amazing place and great footage.
Trust your instinct. It looked a little sketchy to me but its so beautiful, thanks
Oh goodness that footage is awesome! But I was scared silly watching you hike over those slippery rocks. You are one fearless chic! I wanna be like you when I grow up 😂
It looks worse than I was in real life, but it was pretty intimidating
WHOA!Some of that looked pretty sketchy. What an awesome adventure. And I really like your camera work. Thanks Maddi. The fun definitely outweighed the fear.
Wow what an adventure! Looks like a challenge for surebut do much fun. Can't wait to see the next one.
Thank you!!
Awesome
Omgoodness, the waterfalls. I definitely put this on my bucket list.
I cringed every time you showed those sandals. Your poor feet! Lol
Thank you! And for real!! I’m gonna try to reach out to a good water shoe company and see if they wanna sponsor me or something!
I know it's been awhile since you did this, but WOW! You are a badass! I live within a couple hours of this hike, so I've done it several times. In fact, I'll be there in a couple weeks. When you were thinking about giving up towards the end, I was screaming internally, no! because you were so close to the Eye. Anyways, mad respect for you in conquering the Eye! If you're ever in Bentonville, AR you need to check out Bike Rack Brewing. They're producing some quality craft beer! Stay safe!
That’s so awesome!! My parents got mad at me for doing this hike, but it’s honestly one of my favorite. So cool!
This looks amazing. Thank you! It doesn't even really look like a trail half of the time. It just looks like you are bushwhacking it and scaled cliffs at parts.
I can't believe you wore those shoes and not specialty hiking boots and yet survived this place, glad you did though.
I used to live in AR back in the days and I've been to the Buffalo River a few times.
I loved it! One of my highlights of the year!
Great video. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
Ohmyword!!!
I love this trail. I want to try it sometime!
I just watched Charliehikes hiking this!
Awesomeness. Now I getcto see it thru your eyes!!!
Maddie, you're videos are so engaging. I was a little worried about you hurting yourself in this one (I'm very happy you didn't). I do appreciate you being able to hold out the camera while traversing that terrain, for us to see. Some great views, there! Very well done, Maddie!
Thank you!! I worked super hard on this one!!
Those shoes were making me a nervous wreck!
So proud of you!❤️👏🏻💐👍😁
Thank you so much! 🥲
Maddie, you are so brave‼️ You never lose your smile❤️
Thank you! 💜
Such a beautiful place!
It really was!!
Very cool video Maddie, great camera work considering all the difficult angles you were encountering. We are really enjoying your adventures. Were in Utah for two weeks from there not sure where the wind is taking us......
Thank you for noticing that! Hope you have a great time in Utah! I always love it there!
@@BeerinBeautifulPlaces Mohab is a fu?king zoo right now, I need my happy place somewhere in Colorado on a lake, where we can smoke weed all day, swim naked, drink beer and sip some good "Kentucky Bourbon"......
Indian creek trail is definitely one of the most challenging but beautifully unique trails in that area of Arkansas. Would recommend for anyone looking for an adventure. Do in Spring if possible otherwise waterfall won't be flowing.
..Hail Yeah!..
Ty mam..that gave me a rush .of danger .Dave .🎶☮️
Wow! I've mentioned before that I now look for local beers when I'm traveling (thanks to you) but I have no luck finding them in gas stations. Everything is Miller, Bud ... Any tips?
I had that same problem in rural Kansas! Maybe try looking at grocery stores that sell alcohol? If I’m remembering right, that’s where I find most of mine
Maddie you're fun 😊
Thanks!
Be sure to hit up Gravity Werks in Big Flat, AR...I bet the Buffalo is REAL high right now, tons of rain lately...I haven't even been on that trail, but the Ozarks are beautiful! Good brew, 6.3ABV!
You did amazing! My buddy has done that trail with his wife, real tough, she ended up tearing ACL on it.
Find Piney River Brewing (central MO), their float trip ale is tasty!
Cheers n Beers!
I filmed this at the beginning of the month, so I’m already gone for AR and MO! Maybe on my second lap, though!
First thank you for taking all of on this journey of yours. But I have to say as a parent and a person who also have taken some chances on trails and rock climbing. I hope in the future you wear appropiate foot wear, spraining a ankle or breaking one is not fun. How would you have got to saftely if that would have happened. I watched your traversing that wet rock ledge, worried of a fall or worst. I would send you money to get proper footwear girl. Be safe all you tubers love watching your journeys. Saftey First and foremost.
Jejeje gran aventura
Gracias!
I had to hide my eyes!
Sorry to scare you! Sometimes it looked worse than it was!
I hiked the river when low.
😃....Dang!! You almost needed a life jacket! How can we send you money for hiking sandals / water sandel shoes! This was a good one!👍
Thanks, David!! My CashApp is $MadelineZickel , Venmo is @Madeline-Zickel and PayPal is @MadelineZickel !! Every little bit helps! Thank you!!
You are amazing, I would be concerned I'd get lost😧 To answer your questions: I am a regular follower so I dont need your regular "Hi, I'm Maddie" intro but you should probably keep it for people just finding your channel. And yes, I'd most certainly watch a director's video with the extra footage!!
Noted! Thank you!
Wow Maddie. This was spectacular footage. I'm going to watch it again! But ... ahem ... your sandals ... if it's not in your budget to get some decent climbing sandals, I'm sure your patreons would chip in a few bucks each to make that happen for you.
Great news! A water shoe company is sending me some for free! I asked, and they actually didn’t see this video, it was just perfect timing!
What an amazing hike! You did fantastic considering you were not wearing proper footwear.
It really was! And yeah, I wish I had fancy outdoor gear, but they were probably the best option I had
Good job at not dying on that hike. Sandals??!! Com'on, that is really unsafe. A man died on that hike last year. I have been there 8 times but always wore hiking boots and had hiking poles. Anyway, you did pretty good considering what you were wearing. Last comment is you went after a heavy rain....that is the only way to see the falls. And DON'T hike alone in wilderness!! Now go in peace.
Bill Clinton's brother made beer there..I had a few in little Rock..
Maddie! Catching up on your videos. Gotta tell you girl, I had to turn this one off. I did not like watching you hike along ridges/cliffs with slippery rock, or do water crossings where the water was above your knees and raging, all while filming. I literally had to stop watching, then pick back up at the end. On a lighter note, the local brewery in my small town has a motto, “beer should take you somewhere”. Always thinking of you when I drink their beer.
I would like directors cuts to get more footage of ur adventures, and intro no intro doesn’t matter to me I’m here for good vibes and adventure!!!
Nice! Thank you!
I dig your vibe 👌but please get some shoes 👟 on your feet.
I knew I was getting in and out of the water, and I’d rather walk in wet sandals than wet hiking boots! But a company is sending me water shoes that you can hike in, so I. The future I’ll have an even better option!
Doing this alone for the views was stupid. This is the number one SARS location in NWA.
Give up..give up..please..gosh. I got stuck a hundred feet up sheer ledge in Frisco, Colorado when I was 18... Never so scared in my life..since then I've rope/rock climed, repelled 200 feet down straight rock..still..not a good feeling and you are alone..
I was on Mt Royal in downtown Frisco..it's online..Montezuma mine shary goes under and back to Peak 1 in Breckenridge .those old mine shafts are seriously dangerous .I'm still alive ve ..to watch you Ms Maddie 😃
Pretty scarry a Ross wet rocks and filming your feet.... viewer perception prolly scarier..yikes Maddie..
Mmmm. I think that was dangerous as well as relying on an app to find your way back, not good. I didn’t enjoy this video.
That’s fair! I knew it wasn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea. As for relying on a map on my phone, a paper map wasn’t available to me, so just having a map period was better than nothing
I had to watch it in two episodes. Was so afraid you would fall and hit your head. Glad you made it. 🥰
