Also know as the BRT, locally. I hiked from Ponca to Steel Creek on Sunday 11/4, when turning around and facing west, I got a terrific view of the trail I had just walked over; with late afternoon light streaming through the trees and highlighting the path. The trail is pretty all year around due to the population of Beech trees which stay yellow and rust all winter. There are plenty of mosses and ferns along the trail also. This is one of the easiest and best short hikes in Arkansas (exactly 2 miles and a total climb and fall of maybe 300 feet); there is almost always a good view of the flowing river and huge rocks and bluffs. Beware, some locations on the trail are close to the edge and dangerous for children.
