Waterfalls and Bigfoot

[Flysmallie]

Around 2 miles round trip. Fairly easy for the most part, even for a fat guy. It is quite a climb up to the cave. Clear path with steps but still a good workout. 

Better prepared would have been flashlights for the cave. And pack in lunch so you could picnic by the falls. 

Its a beautiful place.

Just gotta figure out the next destination.

Just one of the gems in the most spectacular little part of the Ozarks.  From Whittaker Point (Hawksbill Crag) to Hemmed-in Hollow to the Goat Trail on Big Bluff to the Indian Creek canyon, and a bunch of other lesser known but just as impressive spots, that upper Buffalo country is amazing.

That's what we read. But there were just too many people there already. Probably head back this fall and will be better prepared. 

we went in Jan., less people, not much water flow, but still amazing.

also see alot more Elk in the cooler months

from the Goat Trail- not an advisable trail for inexperienced hikers or anybody that gets vertigo

Yeah it's a beautiful view but I'd be better on that gravel bar down there.

i have been hiking that area for almost 20years, last fall was the first time i have ever fished the Buffalo

I love the Goat Trail.  A ledge no more than three feet wide in a few spots, never more than 8 or 10 feet wide, 350 feet above the river, with another 175 feet of cliff above you.  Big Bluff is THE highest bluff in the Ozarks, though a few of the stairstep bluffs on the lower end of the Buffalo are pretty close from the river to the top of the highest stairstep cliff.
