The rock looms large in my headlamp as I stand, trying to gather both my wits and my hiking poles.

The guidebook says there is good camping somewhere up ahead, but we’re desperate to stop and in this blackness can see very little beyond the trail’s edge.

Glad to see this trail receiving greater consideration and use by hikers. LOTS of good hiking in Arkansas! Folks in ARK working to make this a very good trail with virtually zero crowds. Trail has a wide timeframe window of hikeability!
