The Glory Hole trail is one of Arkansas’s most popular hikes. It is a 1.8 mile all downhill out and back type trail. The trailhead is right off the highway which is nice for any car type, however because the trail is so popular it may be hard to find a parking spot. I wentContinue reading “Glory Hole”

This last trail was super disappointing. Based off of someone’s recommendation my parents and I hiked this 5.1 mile loop last weekend. It is located in Bella Vista, Arkansas. We parked at the Kingswood golf course parking lot. The trail entrance was on the immediate right. We walked down the trail which took us alongContinue reading “Tunnel Vision Trail”

My mom and I went to a few short hikes in Hobbs State Park last week. We were trying to get out of the house on a nice day, and we were scoping out possible hikes for my grandparents to do the next time they visit. We did four short loops and it ended upContinue reading “Hobbs State Park – Conservation Area”

During this time of social distancing, a great way to mentally cope with these changes has been to take hikes outside. I am always happier after taking a break from screens and listening to the sounds of nature. I have been going to more secluded trails that are not as popular to avoid overcrowding andContinue reading “Tea Kettle Falls Trail”

This trail is located near Huntsville, Arkansas. It is 1.2 miles and moderately hiked. I found this trial by seeing a friend post a picture of it on her Instagram. There is a dirt road to get to the trailhead and I would recommend having a vehicle that is not close to the ground toContinue reading “King’s River Overlook Trail”

The Tanyard Creek Loop is 2.2 miles and located in Bella Vista. The first part of the trail is pathed. You can quickly exit the pathed trail onto smaller offshoots. I followed an offshoot that went along the creek. It was well maintained and gravel. The creek was flowing due to recent rain. Along theContinue reading “Tanyard Creek”

Petit Jean is a must see for the Central Arkansas area. The iconic Cedar Falls waterfall easily recognizable on so many Arkansas marketing photos. The trail is moderate and is a distance of 2 miles. Hiking time is about an hour and a half to two hours long although that can vary. It is heavilyContinue reading “Petit Jean – Cedar Falls Trail”

Although this is not one specific trail, I enjoy going to Cauldron Settlement Park as a quick get away from Conway. On my first time to visit, my roommate and I were looking for hippie rock and we just started down the Cauldron MTB Trail. This gave us beautiful views of the Arkansas River. WeContinue reading “Cauldron Settlement Park (Hippie Rock)”

Devil’s Den Trail is the place that I’ve hiked more than any where else. When I was a kid, my family walked this trail while we were in Fayetteville for my oldest brother to tour the University of Arkansas. Now my family lives in NWA and when friends come visit, we take them here. ItContinue reading “Devil’s Den Trail”

I went hiking on this trail with three other friends. None of us had ever hiked here nor did we directly know of any people who had hiked the trail. My friend found this trail by following a Arkansas hiking group on Instagram. After making two wrong turns on the road and falling forty minutesContinue reading “Arkansas Sphinx”
