From Yellowstone to the Sunshine State - In Admiration of Arkansas, Part 2


This part covers my visits to Petit Jean State Park, Seven Hollows State Park, and the Big Bluff Trail in the Buffalo National Wild and Scenic River watershed. 

After I visited these places, I spent a night in Memphis and Atlanta before heading back to Florida. But Memphis was boring and the photos I took after leaving Atlanta aren't really worth a separate post.

Enjoy the views!
