    In this adventure, my friends and I backpack the original Sylamore Creek Trail. This trail is 13.7 miles starting in Allison, Arkansas and goes through Blanchard Springs, Gunnars Pool, and Barkshed Recreation Area. Come hike along and enjoy the beautiful fall colors of the Ozark National Forest, crystal clear rivers and streams, and our scenic campsite. This is day 1 of the hike, so stayed tuned and check out day 2 as well! Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel, hope you enjoy!

    Love your video work. I live near Batesville, AR and knew this trail very well some years ago, I love it there. I trained and practiced on that trail for the A.T. which I thru-hiked after that. Anyway, like your videos and following your A.T. hike is how I found the channel. Hike your own hike.

    Altra shoes are my FAVORITE shoes ever and Danner boots (Reckoning) since I was in the Marine Corps and can represent but they are also lightweight, comfy, rugged, and durable. These Danner boots I went one half size up from my Altra shoe size and it worked perfectly to have that tiny bit extra of room I needed.

    Hey! Just found your channel. Looking forward to seeing your AT hike. Was curious if you had recommendations for a loop backpack trip through the Ozarks or in Arkansas? I’m coming from Ohio so somewhere semi near the airport would be most ideal. But would take any suggestions regardless. Good luck on your upcoming thruhike

    A friend and I performed this SCT trail way back yonder in 2018, but being the wise young lady you are, I greatly doubt you’ll be tearing the meniscus in BOTH knees as did I as in came down those large steps into Blanchard Spring Rec area! Two surgeries later and very repaired, and I do hope to return to whoop up on that trail again to show it that I ain’t no ol fart that it can pick on!! Love ya vids Ms Hay’s!! (BTW: went to H2:4 to look at that Crescent UltraLite Kayak! WOW, do I want one of those! Excellent man that Brandon!!)

      Oh my goodness!! I’m glad you are good now! I actually twisted my ankle going into Barkshed at the end. Was pretty swollen for a couple days but it’s okay now. I guess it’s kinda a dangerous trail haha & thank you so much!! & awesome! I hope you end up getting it 😁

    • @EddieJoe55
      @EddieJoe55 Před 3 lety

      @@kellyhays23 oh my! Twisted ankle!? Thank the Lord you were so close to the end!! I suppose you could have cut yourself a small sapl'n and made a crunch! You cud do! Your resourceful! We were hiking from Barkshed to Blanchard, and I recall as we came around a body of water to our left we heard the loudest grunt coming from a wild bore there at the water's edge. My friend goes, “Did you see the size of those TEETH?” Which I think he was referring to the tusks. He said they were as long as his fingers. I saw no bore, but what I heard made me know I was thankful it was more uh-fear'd of us than I had time to be of him! Excellent trail tho, but the SCT is one that one should not go as a couch-spud! After that trail I couldn't touch my body where I didn’t hurt!! But I felt invigorated to take hiking on as a new hobby-and at 65 I suppose it’s not too late. But that kayak...I think I’m rather smitten with that thing! I can’t find anyone having a hint of negative feedback on it. My wife wouldn't get on one if it was the only way off snake island! Time to save some $ I reckon!

    Have enough of the leaves fallen to eliminate the tunnel views and enable you to see the mountains in the distance.
