In February, I had my first hike on the Glory Hole Falls Trail in the Ozark National Forest. It was a great hike.

On the day of the hike, it had been above freezing for a few days (in Fort Smith, anyway), but I was pleasantly surprised to see there were still quite a few icicle formations at the stream that forms the waterfall. At the waterfall itself, there was the remnants of a large icicle hanging the length of the waterfall.

This is the hole in the top of the cave overhang. The Glory Hole waterfall is on the other side.

These are some photos from my hike. (Click here for Brent’s trail summary.)
