Linking BRT area side/short trails to make one longer trip?

**Mr. Doublefister** · 02-23-2019, 12:58

I've done the BRT already and want to check out some of the awesome side trails in that area. Problem is, I want to hike more than 3 or 6 miles per day. Is there a good route to link trails like Hemmed-in Hollow, Whitaker Point (Hawksbill Crag), Thunder Canyon Falls, etc? Are there some trail suggestions that I could link up to make a 30-50 mile trip?

Do I just have to do the out and back for each trail and then drive to the next? Don't care much for the idea of involving the car. Looking to hit some of these in a 3-4 day period and I'm used to 15-20 miles per day. Don't really want to cover the BRT again but I would be willing to do sections of it if it made the trip work.

Anyone? Nothing possible?

Probably get good responses from the Facebook groups "Our Buffalo River" and "Backpacking Arkansas"

Appreciate it but I'm not a Bookfacer.

The only real spur trails that I know of that connect to the BRT that provides access to scenic areas are the old River trail, also known as the horse trail, and the Chimney Rock Trail that connects with the Center Point trailhead, both which visit Hemmed in Hollow. I understand not wanting to drive to multiple trailheads, but Hawkbill Crag and the Lost Valley trail are within a few miles of each other.

Thank you! I will look at those on a map.
