It's so cool to be able to hang out with your father. Cherish these moments because they're not gonna last forever.
Nothing better than seeing daughter and dad hiking together. I will have to check out one of those power stations.

Pretty impressed with this power station! I am gifting it to my grandma so she has one for her home :)
Your father is so blessed to have you for his daughter . And you are blessed to have such a great father. Enjoyed today’s video. 😊
Those waterfalls are beautiful! I love the Ozarks, I’m a Missouri boy and spent much of my childhood exploring that amazing part of the country.
Awesome. Your segments are always as good as any cable television show.
I'm in Southern MO. And I love going down to Arkansas for hiking and floating.... I was extremely close to my Grandparents they were more like parents to me. I lost both of them over the last two years or so. So I know exactly what you're saying about not having this forever. I'd recommend continuing to make your family and making memories a priority. You will never regret it.
It's nice you got to spend time with your dad hiking. I promise someday you will look back and wish you could do a few more.
So beautiful. I’m in SE Florida. Walked outside just now and it’s 97. No hiking until about 5 or 5:30. Easier on the dogs. God bless and thank you for sharing your videos. ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Yes it was a hot one today In FLA i was on a kayak in the Santa Fe River here in northern Fla and must have drank a gallon of water on the water. Thinking today was a hotttt one and to think we haven’t even begun.🥵
I'm so happy to have enjoyed this trek with your Dad!! This is what memories are made of ❤😊 Very scenic county for sure..God Bless !!😊
My wife and I have hiked to every water fall in both Ernst books. Nearly 200 of them! So much fun. Now we are doing them again.

Fun quality time with you dad makes for a fun video. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. I hiked Hetch Hetchy, outside of Yosemite yesterday.
Kelly Hayes, I find myself following you more and more nowadays with the hiking, canoeing and the van life. It's just such a well-rounded channel and awesome life you've got for yourself! Very happy for you....
Thank you for the ❤ of Arkansas & its beauty , glad you got to spend time with your dad out on the trails ,makeing memories is the best

🤍🤍🤍🤍 thanks for being here Rick!
I love going solo but all the hikes and backpacking trips I've done with my daughter truly hold the best memories for me!
Glad your back in Arkansas and doing something with your dad. I live in Fayetteville Arkansas in one of the older communities for 38 years. Main reason for this comment is the cicadas Most come out every 17 years but some every 13 years. This year both are arriving. Something that does not happen but once in a lifetime. Anyway if you could do video of this happening anywhere in Arkansas "Where the Cicadas Sing" I think would be great. Sorry to rip off the title of a movie. Which actually was a very good movie. .
I love hiking in the Buffalo River area. It’s close to my Missouri home. Never been here, going to check it out! The waterfall hikes are my favorite ones!
I looked through my Tim Ernst - Arkansas Waterfalls book index for "School House Falls" and it isn't in there!! At least it isn't in my copy, but it's a good 20 years old, lol. Pretty waterfall and a great day shared with your Dad. Warmed my heart when you spoke of the things that you truly value and cherish :)
Spent many decades in Arkansas mostly in NW. In college I spent more time hiking there than on the U of A campus! Back in the early 80's it was empty. Got many a coed's "especially out of staters" willing to skip classes! Glad you had a great trip with dad.
That was nice bringing your dad for a hike those are memories for ever👍
Awesome video, My mom is 80 and we still walk back to the river behind her house.
Kelly, watching you and your dad brought tears... I miss my dad so very much and our trail walks and hikes. Would give anything for one more walk with him. Enjoy your time with him. Thanks for the post! ❤️
Once again some beautiful scenery on those hikes. Sitting with your Dad on the rock locking at the waterfall got me. Ending the day with that food looked pretty darn good!!
We’re planning to move to Arkansas in the next couple of years. It’s had my heart since I was a child and your videos only stir the passion. Thank you!
Glad your dad went with you.its good exercise for him.love your videos.
Beautiful countryside, great day for making memories with your Dad.
Love you went on a hike with your dad. Precious memories
That was great that your dad went out and spent the day with you. You both are fortunate.
Epic day for you and your Pops! Some of those river pools looked prime, love catching river smallmouth! 🤙🦀🌴
Kelly 👋👋 it’s nice that yr spending time with yr dad on some of yr hiking trips.. memories for sure .. love ❤️ from New Mexico 😊
Good to see a hike with your father. I enjoyed this very much. Best wishes to you both.
Like a father, like a daughter: both down to earth.
😮 beautiful thank you for sharing,….. and yay u and Daddy Daughter adventure 🎉🎉
Spent several days hiking in Mulberry last week and it was so gorgeous! The beautiful spring colors, the mountains, the blue water; it was awe inspiring!
You notice all the amazing views & are able to do exactly what makes your heart, mind , & your soul Content. Plus spending quality time with loved ones . You are an amazing person 💐💯❤️
You and your dad, nothing better than that! I would love to run into you on a hike in Arkansas, and I haven't checked out those falls yet. It's almost too late, but I've seen a lot this year, it's on my list! Happy Trails✌️
A beautiful hike. Loved meeting your dad.
love seeing you and your dad together
I Wish i could get my mom to go out on a short hike like those. Mabey the Nebo waterfall...
You are going to love the Green River Lakes in the Winds. It has a unique color to it as well.
This is amazing!! I loved seeing you out with your Pops! Man I sure miss mine! I see now how awesome you are after seeing your Dad. He did a great job and I’m sure he is so very proud of the amazing woman you have become! You are one special person and thank you for being you! Also, I do love me some beach life but I think I belong in the woods and hills too. I too love it more.
i LOVE clinton arkansas and bluffton i go there to double drop falls after a good rain. i need to do the razorabck rock thing cuz it looks cool. the canoe access to the river is gorgeous to sit at and just listen to the water!
Love all your vids! Arkansas is so beautiful! This is what hiking is all about ...stopping to smell the flowers and just enjoying the views all while bonding with someone special! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your time with your dad. I lost my dad to cancer this past October. Cherish every minute you can get with your parents.
New Kelly Hays video is always a highlight! Your Dad crushed it! Well done sir!
Beautiful area! Love the water falls and trails. ❤ I'm glad that you still have your dad to hang out with. My dad used to take me for nature hikes I'd call them when I was really young. He'd get upset with me for getting into the poison ivy and oak all the time. 😅 He died from cancer when I was 18. I cherish the memories of my time spent with him. I've always enjoyed walking and being outside in nature because of him. I love him and miss him. Enjoy every moment you have together. Like someone else said I bet he's really proud of you.
I think you’d really enjoy Northern Michigan. Especially the Upper Peninsula! Fall is the best for the color. Porcupine Mountains, Lake in the Clouds, Taghuamenon Falls and kayaking Pictures Rocks.
Glad you are getting to spend time with your dad. There not here forever. I sure miss mine
It's the mountain biking capital of the world 🌎....love N.W Arkansas
Hi Kelley! I was just thinking, you should bring a family member with you on a hike. And there was your dad! I think it's great! Good family time memories❤ / Diane
Thank you for sharing your home state and the Ozark Mountains! We hope to get to visit this area in September!
What a great video Kelly. Enjoy your time with your pop and thanks for bringing us along
I have never thought about visiting Arkansas but your videos show such a beautiful place!
I just adore your upbeat spirit.
It’s nice to be out in the Ozarks hiking in the beautiful weather. That old cellar you found with the old mason jars is typically an old spring house where people kept their bottled goods and cold from a spring source running through and they were the original refrigerators before today’s refrigerators existed. Driving through the backroads of Arkansas makes me want to take a trip there because of the beautiful scenery.
I lost my Dad last year. Spend lots of time with yours. When he's gone, he's not coming back.

Reminds me of a favorite quote, “Sometimes memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks.”
Thanks Kelly! Great content as usual! Good to see you be able to hike with your Dad. Heather and I look forward to your next adventure! God bless! Alec
Beautiful video. I wish my dad was able to go hiking with me!! Love watching your videos their amazing.
I did only one hike with my Dad and that was the northern half of the AT in the Smokies. He said there weren’t many trees along the trail that hadn’t been leaned on… LOL
So cool! Last time I commented on your vid we were talking about the Buffalo river, and there you are! Haha! Glad you had a good time with your dad!
Would love to go on an adventure with you or anyone that is in southwest florida! Just moved down here and looking for fun things to do this summer! 🎉
Beautiful trails! Here's a tip you may find helpful: if you decide to do a trail run and want the pace to be brisk, watching 'The Blair Witch Project' before entering the woods is a great motivator to run fast. 🥺

Heart warming reflection about life -> video. Folks born in the mid 1950’s are looking at 70 years old soon enough. Seems *far ahead* in time; when one is in there 20’s.
Have you ever tried a shot of cayenne pepper and olive oil for you allergies. Try it every morning..it helps so much ❤
