The Buffalo River area of the Arkansas Ozarks is beautiful any time of year. Winter is an excellent time for hiking. The temperatures are cooler and with most of the leaves off the trees you can see through the forest easier. A recent heavy rain perked the creeks and rivers of the area a few days ago and provided an opportunity to see some wonderful waterfalls. The Lost Valley hiking trail is located near Ponca, only minutes from Rimrock Cove Ranch. An easy trail to hike, it's a good choice for families with children. Even though it is easy, the beauty is still abundant. I made the hike with my pal Rhonda and we spent hours photographing the water along the way. Eden Falls is the large pour off at the end of the trail. A must see if you are in the area. These are some of the photographs I captured on yesterday's outing.
