The Goat Trail (Big Bluff ) Buffalo National River

This is a view from the "Goat Trail" on Big Bluff over looking the Buffalo National River. We hiked out there in a downpour and when we got there the clouds lifted. Unfortunately I brought my cheap camera. It's located in the Ponca Wilderness Area.

great music and great pictures, well done. I went to Goat Bluff with my brothers several years ago.

Thank you!

I haven't been there since May '07. So, I don't know that they are. There's probably no way for them to do that since it's approachable from many directions and it's not really being abused. But, that's as much as I know!

That's a nice trail. I enjoyed it in November 2009. :)

@m0ore00 the slide you are talking about is on Indian creek and it did slide. We talked to a park ranger and they are going to do nothing to re-open it ever! It was a beatutiful trail. Maybe in the future we can work at getting it back open.

It is open. And still scary as hell.

I went to Big Bluff about three weeks ago, and the trail I went on was open. It's the trail that leads to Granny Henderson's old homestead.

Big Bluff is amazing. I get out there whenever I can.

I've heard though, that they are now restricting access on the trails. Spring rains apparently washed out the trail on either side? You know anything about that? I shot a little bit of film from the other side of the river looking back at big bluff titled "hiking the buffalo", let me know what you think.
