Robbers Cave Nature Trail is a pretty cool .4-mile loop trail at Robbers Cave State Park (Latimer County, Oklahoma, near Wilburton) in the Sans Bois Mountains of southeast Oklahoma. It’s a must-see if you’re in the area. The trail goes around and over some really cool rock formations, including the namesake Robbers Cave.
One of my favorite parts of the Ouachita Trail to walk is the 1.6 or so mile stretch of Section 1 between Horsethief Springs and Forest Road 6014 (to the east).

This 2.2-mile segment of Section 1 of the Ouachita Trail (Ouachita Forest, LeFlore County, Oklahoma) runs from Forest Road […]

The elevation here is about 2,450 feet. At […]
The 3.5 mile stretch of the Ouachita Trail from the Potato Hill Vista spur to Forest Road 6010 is a pretty cool one. There are a number of nice vistas and several areas with interesting rocks. This segment has a moderate amount of climbing. The trail profile I did from my October 3, 2015 hike […]
The starting 2.4-mile Ouachita Trail segment from Talimena State Park to the Potato Hill Vista (mile point 0.0 to 2.4) has some nice scenic areas and quite a bit of climbing. The net elevation change is about 850 feet. I like rocky areas and hills. As with much of Winding Stair Mountain, quite a bit […]
