Thanks for the link to this - there are some amazing photos in the article.
Perhaps when my friend and I finish Missouri's Ozark Trail, we will tackle Arkansas' Ozark Highland Trail.

I was drawn to this by mention of the Ozark Trail. I would like to spread the news that the Ozark Trail is haphazardly maintained and in places is fit only for experienced hikers. I recently walked 4 miles out and back from the Marble Creek trailhead. This segment can not accurately be called a trail. There are innumerable fallen trees across it from the past 3 years of unusual rough weather. Trail markers are so few that, 3 years ago, I had to pass through several times in both directions to find its course. Since then they have become fewer. No one is even pretending to maintain a trail here, although the website and the tourism brocures crow about it and invite young and old to walk it. To walk this segment, bring a good map and expect to repeatedly spend time searching tediously for the trail after passing fallen trees.
