When vacationing in North west Arkansas!

Why yes! that is Arctic Blue colored water, and yes it is in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas. This beauty of a picture was taken on the way to the Little Missouri Falls. Its a 16 mile hiking trail nestled in the North West region of the mountains of the beautiful rugged Ouachita National Forest. The little Missouri Falls is only about 5 miles from Camp Albert Pike, and is about 25 miles from Glenwood Arkansas. The roads are paved only halfway to your destination and the rest is a gorgeous mystery. Surrounded by breath taking drops just inches from your window, and walls of mountain towering tall above your head. This spot is sure to catch the hearts of all passersby, and even the locals, like me! The trail is a moderate or strenuous trail. It is not a place to would take wandering two-five year olds, but it is a quite beautiful place to picnic with the family. The trail takes you across steel enforced man made bridge-ways crossing the river and paths that tower above the river some 50-75 feet at times.
The dirt and gravel roads may gain victorious on small compact vehicles. although we did make our way up and down the mountain in the snow and mud with my 2001 Honda Civic. If you take pride in your vehicle and the cleanliness of it. please heed my warning and take a truck! The roads are not informative as far as telling you what is where, but there are a few signs along the way. Just when you feel like your lost and in the middle of no where, you have actually made it! Here are a few pictures from our experience I hope you like them!
