Everyone from Arkansas will be proud of this video; excellent work! What a great loop made even better with the company of you, Coach and Buddy.

Thanks so much Bryan! It was an awesome trip!

I live in southern Missouri and have done quite a bit of hiking in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, but they have all been only day hikes. I am 65 years young, and didn’t start hiking much, to speak of, until about 3 years ago. I was surprised at how much I would enjoy hiking during the winter months, although I have to say, I avoid water crossings when the temps are cold. When the leaves are off the trees in the winter, you can see views and rock formations that you might not see during other seasons. You also don’t have to deal with bugs and snakes, which is a big plus! You were very lucky to enjoy the more milder winter temps during your hike. On Feb 16, the low was around -11° in that part of Arkansas. At my house, on Feb 15, we had 0° for a high and -13 for a low. Thank goodness, those types of temps are not averages! I am guessing the temps you had on your hike were probably close to averages. So glad that you enjoyed spending time in my part of the world.

It takes Cat's skills to make a cold, wet and mostly cloudy backpacking trip look appealing to even this desert dweller. So much water! Once again she has introduced me to new places. A perfect reason to get up at 7 on a Sunday morning.

Perhaps some day she will hike the Catskills, and document them with Cat skills!

Just me or do you love how she captures the beauty of it all?

Darn good camera work. I enjoyed it as usual.

Aww luv the sound of river flowing 🙏

WHAT! WHAAAAT?? Catherine Gregory is hiking right outside my back door and I didn't get to run out and say, "HI!" #ArkansasIsANatural - NEXT TIME... let me know when ya'll are near Conway, Arkansas and I will make a big pot of beans n ham and cornbread! This is very cool!

hi, greetings from India. i am an avid hiker and trekker and in my country we have the mighty Himalayan terrain which is even more challenging in terms of altitude. but i cant express in words how awesome this entire hike was, truly a feast for the eyes, the natural beauty....so soothing for the mind....thanks for sharing this vid, i subscribed your channel and look forward to more videos from you, as i will never be able to do those hikes myself. once again, love and respect from India.

Love all the water scenes with the sound of the water carefully added to the audio track. You have gotten so good at editing these hiking videos. Great mix of music, ambient sound, voice over, with beautiful images, all telling your hiking story. Very entertaining. Larry

All I can say is WOW, STUNNING

I was so excited to see this pop up!! One of our favorite loops! This was the first big backpacking trip I took in 2015, so it will always have a special place in my heart. We just did it again this past October. We always start at the same trailhead you did, but we go counter clockwise spending 2 nights on trail. Taking an extra night would probably make it even more pleasant!! You captured it well and yes, Arkansas has a lot to offer. The Buffalo River Valley is some beautiful hiking as well. Maybe one day you will get a chance to do the the Buffalo River Trail. As always...fantastic video!! Thanks for sharing with us!!

It was also my first backpacking trip. Lots of good memories and lots of newbie mistakes made here. We went over Thanksgiving and had pretty high water crossings. Such a lovely loop.

Great time to hike Arkansas with no foliage to appreciate the geology of the Ozarks, but there is nothing more magic than the redbuds and dogwoods of an early Arkansas spring forest.

WOW! I had no idea Arkansas was so beautiful! I was born and raised here in California next to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the beauty I see in Arkansas is comparable on many levels to what I've seen here. 🤙

This video is just fabulous. The 🎵 music sets the mood perfectly.

You are a photographer! I am so happy for you,living the way you want to! Good luck!

Thank you for the opportunity to travel with you. Love all your videos. ❤❤❤

Beautiful Arkansas. Love this state

You had the right kind of music and just the right amount without overdoing it. You captured the essence of Arkansas in a magnificent way! Thoroughly enjoyed and thank you

It's incredibly well made. I feel a mix of emotions. The shots are astonishing with picturesque landscapes so gorgeous that makes us to feel to present while you walking. Thanks God for so beautiful places yet to exist here on earth. 👏👏👏👏

Thank you Catherine. This is a beautiful, calming video. I love your style and photography.

Grew up running through the forests of Kerreville, TX. I visited Arkansas, Oklahoma, and many places in Texas, and there was a persistent problem of giant spider webs from tree to tree. I was never stung by a spider, but that was so freaky to have spiders with 2-4" leg spans waiting to pounce. I had to walk through forests with a 2' stick twirling in a circle ahead of me to clear the webs as I hiked. Now in Colorado, it is such a luxury not to have to worry about so many bugs. I once saw a spider walking through the snow near treeline in winter in a blizzard. What a bizarre sight! But it's legs were less than 1" in diameter, and it was walking in slow motion, because it should have been frozen. Not many bug problems above a mile high. However, the forests of Arkansas are so beautiful. I love the lichen and moss on the trees.

Cat - I was so pumped when Bryan told me the ‘Dream Team’ was coming to the Ouachita’s. Hope my home state treated y’all well. Thanks for showcasing The Natural State, in all her glory! Safe travels ✌🏼

So true, I like your AT hat, as I am a thru-hiker GA-ME 94 and an Arkansan, beautiful shots and photo work, hope you enjoyed your time there. Peace !

What an awesome and beautiful hike! The azure color of the water, especially at 20:20, was spectacular. I think Arkansas is one of the gems of our nation. There's a gas station on I-40 that serves the best catfish in the world. I actually turned off the Super Bowl to watch this video and glad I did. As a member of a huge overland camping group, Arkansas is one of our favorite states to explore. Thank you, Catherine, for sharing such an incredible journey.

Beautiful hike! Give me a hike in the woods any day over mountains, I love beautiful lush greenery. Hopefully you’ll get a Tennessee Smoky Mountains trip under your belt someday in the future - one of my favorites. 🙂

Great Day Catherine,, I see you are enjoying the great beauty of America and our planet. As an adventurer you know how unbelievable everything is around us. Have a great time always ,, be careful and gain great memories . Dave in Ohio

Great videography as usual. You have spoiled us, we now compare all scenery, style, and stories to yours. We may be biased with this particular episode because Arkansas is our home state. Safe travels, and we look forward to seeing your next video.

You are a true artist with the camera. I do not get out much so via your videos I am able to travel our beautiful countryside, thank you for sharing much appreciated!

Cat... One of the loveliest videos you've done. Spectacular scenery and background music. A wonderful hike with great company. Look forward to the next and don't skip Texas!! 👍🍺❤😎

So beautiful! And always enjoyable to see Coach and Bryan in your vids.

That was a pretty challenging loop with plenty of drinking water available. The greenish blue water colors were beautiful. I guess getting your feet wet is unavoidable and hard to get warm. Great choice of music as always. Hi Buddy!

Wow! Didn't know Arkansas was that pretty. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy the longer videos and music choice is great.

Awesome hike! High Five Congrats on completing this diverse trail. Sometimes it looked like fall, with golden leaves and then a green moss on trees and rocks appeared tropical - so cool. Buddy is great. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 👍😀

What a great hike. Thanks for posting.

I love your choice of background music. So relaxing and your photography is also superb.

Wonderful camera work and beautiful scenery. I bet that area looks beautiful after the spring, when there is more greenery and leaves on the trees. Cheers!

Fording rivers is always fun.

Thank you again for a great hike wish I could have been there so beautiful 🙏🏻safe travels 👍

Another work of art. Thanks for taking me along a different path this morning. And thanks for teaming up with two fine fellows. It makes me feel more comfortable when you have a safety net.

I am happy you weren't alone on this trip! Please be careful! Beautiful work!

Such a great hike, Catherine! It's always exciting to explore a completely new region -- to have your senses bombarded with new geology and species of plants, trees, and wildlife totally different from what you're accustomed. The more you travel, the more you appreciate the incredible variety of nature. You had excellent companionship -- and of course I'm including Buddy. What a good boy.

You did Arkansas proud, I used to live there for six or seven years in the 80's most to the north. Good seeing it again. Very beautiful video.

Ive never seen such amazing and beautiful palaces. Thanks for being good humans and sharing.

Beautiful hike.Thank you.

I enjoyed the change of scenery of the Eagle Rock Loop Trail with its lichen-covered rocks, trees, streams, and rivers. I could almost smell the fecund earth, leaves, and minty rivers and creeks as well as feel the fresh, brisk air and your cold, wet socks! I'm sure your dry socks felt heavenly at day's end. Thanks for sharing your southern adventure with Coach, Bryan and Buddy....Jenny :o)

Simply awesome!

What a beautiful place.

Welcome to the south! My parents both grew up on small, subsistence level farms in Arkansas, and we spent a lot of time exploring the state when I was a little kid. Good memories. 😎

I've done lots of hiking in this forest. It's very nice. Usually fairly dry and warmer. Nice to see you guys making the best of it, even during a cold snap though.

Thank you Catherine for another beautiful video. This backpacking trip was very refreshing!

Wow. Your camera work is amazing.

Thank you once again. An interesting hike

Nice hike, thanks for taking us along
