When spring weather hits in Northwest Arkansas people don't stay put, they hit the trail! Ponca Wilderness Area and the Buffalo National River offer a wide variety of outdoor activities - from day hikes to float trips to multi-night camping. Knowing that we've been hit with a good dousing of rain, we opted for a waterfall hike to Hemmed-in Hollow just outside of Compton, Ark. The 1,400-foot descent is just over 2 miles and is no joke - your lungs will be burning on the climb back up! Bring your H2O and snacks...and a swimsuit...if the weather's nice. The falls rise 210 feet and are the tallest between the Rockies and Appalachians and are truly a special spot! Be sure to see the falls from below and look up, you get a beautiful view of the water pouring down overhead.
Side note: We popped into JB Trading for lunch and picked up a guidebook for future hikes in our new home. Plan your trip here. And try out the Yonder app!
