Devil’s Den: Twin Falls Winter Video

In early January I had a cool (and cold) visit to Twin Falls on the Devil’s Den Trail (the cave trail) at Devil’s Den State Park (Washington County). It was great to see both branches flowing well, and I got a kick out of the icicles as well. Alternate video link. According to Tim Ernst’s […]

Devil’s Den: Twin Falls Winter Pics

One of the highlights of the Devil’s Den Self-Guided Trail (also referred to as the “cave trail”) at Devil’s Den State Park is Twin Falls, a scenic double waterfall.

Mt. Magazine: Benefield E. Loop Trail Snow Photos, Pt. 1

Last weekend, I got to do some snow hiking at Mount Magazine State Park. I was pretty excited because we don’t get all that many opportunities for snow hiking here in Arkansas. I picked the 1-mile Benefield East Loop Trail because it is fairly short yet it has some awesome views. Unfortunately, there weren’t any scenic vista […]
