Ozark Mountains , Big Cedar Wilderness Club

 The Ozarks of Arkansas and Missouri are truly hidden treasures! On October 29th we flew up to Little Rock, Arkansas to begin our week long adventure. The Ozark Mountains are more like big hills, knee high to the Grand Tetons of Wyoming, but captivate with their own special charm. Up and down with gentle curves the quiet countryside road beckons and makes for a lovely drive. On our first day traveling north on Route 7 the skies cleared and the glorious autumn leaves of gold sprinkled with red here and there covered the hillsides. What beauty to behold...
Our first stop was Petit Jean State Park- no thanks to Maggie Magellan -our GPS voice tells me to turn on this driveway width dirt road. I prevailed and waited for a sign on the road and ignored that female voice spewing out from the dash! The Cedar Falls were spectacular thanks to the tremendous rain that soaked Arkansas the day we arrived. Our first night in the Ozarks was in the Buffalo National River location-first national river designation in the USA. Our cabin at the Buffalo River was a dream - we even had three deer outside our cabin at dusk! The next morning we drove 5 minutes from our cabin and saw several elk that are part of a herd of 400 that started with 100 elk brought over from Colorado in the 1980's! Was not expecting to see wild bull elk on this trip! We hiked the Lost Valley trail and I was in seventh heaven walking among the golden trees, high dolomite cliffs, flowing streams,
and the Eden Falls.
The next four nights we stayed at the Big Cedar Wilderness Club. Rustic elegance with a beautiful stone fireplace and lavish cabin decor our cabin was absolutely beautiful! The restaurants on sight are historical buildings-again all beautifully decorated and the food was scrumptious.
Yes, the Ozarks in autumn are a quiet place to relax and will be calling me again...
