Steel Creek to Big Bluff Goat Trail

Goat trail – Different than the normal route we will start & finish at Steel Creek and avoid the long climb-out at the end. We will have 5 to 6 water crossings each way. We will cross the Buffalo river at the very beginning. So feet wet as we start. This will be approximately 8 1/2 miles round trip. We follow a rough horse trail up to the Goat trail, this will be the hardest part of the trail. We will then walk down to Grandma Henderson's house. After that we will hike back to Steel Creek. Fun hike with great view from the bluff. Bring water and snacks (lunch). I also suggest tracking poles for the river crossings. No read on how much water there will be this far out so best to be prepared.

We will meet at the Buffalo Outdoor Center in Ponca at 9:30am. Alternately you can meet at the Crystal Hill Commuter lot at 7:00am and carpool up. Several of us, including myself, will already be up around Ponca and not able to carpool. If anyone is interested in staying in the area Friday night send me a text and I can get you details. Please reach out with any questions before Sat morning, cell coverage is not good in the area. 501-786-8354
