Exploring the Hidden Gem of Arkansas

I just got back from the most amazing hike and I had to tell you all about it! It's called the Winding Stairs Trail in Arkansas and it's seriously one of the best hikes I've ever been on. First off, let me just say that this trail used to be a hidden gem, and it might still be. But I'm here to share it with you so you can add it to your bucket list! The hike is almost 5 miles round trip and it's definitely worth it. There are two water crossings, so be sure to bring an extra pair of shoes!

I went during the fall and the colors of the leaves were incredible. The reds, oranges, and yellows were just breathtaking. But I've heard that it's also great to go in the spring when the water is warming up. Just be prepared for cold water if you decide to take a dip!

The trail can be a little bit eroded in some places, but it's still totally manageable. Just make sure to pack plenty of water, snacks, and toilet paper. Trust me on that last one!

I went with my family and it was a really special experience. But I wouldn't mind hiking it again with different people just to see how the experience changes. If you're interested in hiking the Winding Stairs, just be careful driving to the trailhead. The road can be a little bit bumpy!

Overall, I had an amazing time and I'm so glad I got to experience this beautiful hike
