| no partners | | This was a hike to the summit of Buckeye Mountain (elevation of 2,322 feet and prominence of 760 feet), the high point of the Caney Creek Wilderness in western Arkansas.
I parked and started the hike at the East Caney Creek TH. The last 3-4 miles were on an unpaved road, but my rental crossover SUV had no problem with the drive.
The first mile or so of the hike was on a road, and the remainder of the hike was on a nice trail.
I left the road at the Buckeye Mountain TH, and I could have easily driven there but I felt like doing some hiking.
This was a most enjoyable hike. The hike was through mixed hardwoods that were just starting to have some fall color. This area has the potential to have some amazing fall color in a week or 2.
Route Scout let me down again by flatlining again on the ascent. That seems to happen more often than not these days. |
