These two together make an enjoyable 3-mile hike through a pretty area on Rich Mountain at the east end of the Talimena Scenic Drive. These are photos I took on my November 10 hike. There […]
One of my favorite hikes around the Hot Springs area is the Caddo Bend Trail at Lake Ouachita State Park (Garland County). This 4-mile moderately challenging loop showcases the beauty of the forest that blankets the Ouachita Mountains. It also has beautiful views of Lake Ouachita.

In the 1890s, it […]
