Updated April 30, 2022
April is usually the harbinger of spring here in the Ozarks, and this year was no different. My sister had the opportunity to visit in early April and we took advantage of the good weather to do some hiking together, along with friends. Temperatures this time of year are normally in the mid 70's with lows in the 50's. A most excellent time to go camping or floating the river. This was a long update, we all had cameras and took lots of pictures. You can read about our Exploring The River With Family And Friends.

Some Of My Favorite Pictures From Years Past

Situated mainly within three states, the 60,000 square mile Ozark Plateau stretches from eastern Oklahoma to southern Missouri to northern Arkansas. The Ozark Mountains, rising to a height of 2,560 feet in Arkansas' Boston Mountains, represent the largest area of highlands between the Appalachians and the Rockies. These rolling hills and low mountains offer rugged terrain, eroded by water from springs and rivers flowing on a journey to the Mississippi River.
Sparsely populated, the Ozark region is unknown to many people, conjuring up scenes of pioneer cabins among the vast hardwood tree cover, where life takes on a slower pace. It is indeed a place where you can get glimpses of an earlier way of life, but it also holds many beautiful, scenic discoveries within its rolling landscape. |
