Fall/Winter Hikes & Events

 

It’s time to start getting excited about the fall, cooler weather, and fun times together on the hiking trails.  This Fall we have tried to select trails within a 50 mile radius from Bella Vista.  There are two that are a few miles more but both are worth the few minutes longer driving time.

We will depart from the upper parking lot of Harp's Grocery Store in the Bella Vista Town Center.  It is always wise to notify Tanny Jones if you are going on the hike.  Plans could change and you wouldn't know.  Call her at 876-1645 or pgut2010@yahoo.com for information or to register for the hikes.  Always bring water and snacks.  Insects, sun and the typical Ozark rough terrain should also be considered.

--Mike Stone, President
