A foggy sunrise over the Arkansas Ozark Mountains - Calftail Cut on Hightway 43 near Centerpoint
This was a gorgeous hike.
In the Lost Valley area of Buffalo River, AR, there is a beautiful hike back to Eden Falls. Inside Eden Cave is another hidden waterfall. Be sure to take a headlamp and/or flashlight and note that it does get kind of tight crawling back through the cave. #TakeaHike
The Ozarks have some beautiful places to explore. Today I went hiking today at Lost Valley in Arkansas. The caves were awesome to see. Definitely a gem of a place and must go back again SOON! #chillyday #caves #hikingtrails #lostvalley #arkansas #ozarks #nature #optoutside #waterfallsandponds #magentasfire🔥

Very cool hike with a 200 foot waterfall at the end .. the hike is different than most because on the way there you're dropping elevation and it's mostly down hill. The way back takes a bit longer since you're going all up hill. Wear good hiking sneakers. Bring plenty of water especially for the hike back. Follow the trail. Don't try to take any short cuts cuz they aren't short cuts I promise haha
