This Extraordinary Trail in Arkansas Will Make You Feel Like You Can Take On Anything
Any true blue Arkansas nature fans out there? I know some of y’all are, and I am too. But I’ll be honest, I’m not about to forgo the comfort of my house and take to a trail I can’t hike in a day or less. I would imagine most of us are not quite in fighting shape when it comes to hiking the entirety of the Ozarks Highlands Trail, a 218-mile trail that leads through the most remote sections of the Ozarks in northwest Arkansas. However, that doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy the smaller segments of this trail. A few things are pretty much guaranteed whether you’re completing the whole of the Ozark Highlands Trail or just a portion of it: you’re going to find some truly stunning natural beauty and you’re going to walk away with a monumental sense of accomplishment.
