Planning on doing this hike real soon, thanks for sharing.

Wow what a view and camp. Wish us was nearby me - get up there for a night

Hey brother Eric. I miss you. I'm thankful for you. I never got to meet you personally but thank you for all You've done. My son and I are planning to do this next hike together here at the end of June. We did the backbone trail together a week or two ago and I thought about you while I was out there.

Love love love the Eagle Rock Loop trail! We did it back in 2015 and can't wait to go back and do it again!! Thanks for sharing!! One of the best videos on the area I've seen.

Thank you that’s the best compliment!

Good job. I think we did it around same time.

Have done ERL 5 times over the last 16 years, always the few days before Thanksgiving. Except for the four big Up’s and four big Down’s on the west leg it’s great.

This one's on my "loops" bucket list. I've heard the fall is a great time to do it. What is the weather / temp typically like in November?

@@5thGenNativeTexan Thanksgiving week pretty cold, and many of the leaves have dropped. Still, a beautiful time to walk the loop and enjoy some cold water crossings. Little MO usually shin deep, as is Viles Branch.

@@EricHeber Yep, drove out there Friday night. Started the hike Saturday @ 8:30am and finished Sunday @ 4pm. Just the dog & I. This was my 3rd time there and I like it even more than before. It came out to about 30 miles and about 4400 feet elevation gain, but we got lost twice and had to bushwack over a small mountain. This is why a map and a compass is important, unless you just want to backtrack and depend on stripes.

My wife and I ran into you guys at the LM Falls as you guys come through the day before we hiked the ERL for the first time. Thank you for taking the time to explain the Guthook app operations to me. It truly helped us along the hike. Love watching your videos. We plan some Louisiana hikes soon. Much thanks to you. My wife give me my trail name along the loop “Buffalo Two Sticks”. She said I sounded like a buffalo hiking along the trail lol lol

Does anyone know how he passed away?

I am considering this trail in either March or April. Probably leaning towards April, 2020. I know early Spring in the Ouachitas can get a lot of rain and some cold nights.

What time of year was this hike ? What were the Temps?

Nice video and channel. Looks like a cool trail and adventure. Subscribed. ✌️

Good channel man! I have subscribed!

Great video thanks for sharing. Is this loop attached to any part of the Ouachita trail?, or nearby it?

@davidsirmon8425

The Ouachita trail is an hour or so north, they are not connected. I like to start at the Athens/Big Fork trail head (southend) and make the loop and end up back where i started. The reason I like this way is your get your big mtns out of the way the first day. If you start your 2nd day at Little Missouri Falls, most of your hike is along the Little Mo River and there is not near as many mtns so you can kinda coast.

Man we just missed each other, we were out there weekend before this past one.

I was there this last weekend and there was plenty of red and orange leaves. Water wasn't too cold either, even though it got down to 30 degrees on Saturday night.
