This trip is brought to you by a 12 year old boy!!!! Who did a random search and found a place called Devils Den. Of couse we have to check it out!!

This trip we brought a couple extra people. My mother and nephew. As this was my nephews first trip go Arkansa we had to stop at the visitor center, also found some other places we want to check out latter too!

After the crazy windy road that leads down to the first parking lot. We had to get out for a moment. This is also across from the information center and a walking trail. We checked out the information center to get a map to know the layout of land. Also finding out that all the cave systems are closed off to the public, due to a white fungus that is brought in by humans and killing the bats off to almost extension!

We pack up some snacks and water for the first time on the trail. It's just a 2 mile round trip hike. This is such a pritty trail and be ready to hike up hill!!! On the map it showed some points of interest and are indeed very interesting!

After our hike we break for lunch over by the spill way. We head over to the spill way then over to the swinging bridge.

Now to the lookout point. This is a 6 mile hike around or a 3 mile to the lookout and back. We all decided to just go to the lookout and back. It's a 1000 ft elevation just that point and then back down. Get ready to climb! But the view up is amazing.
