OHJ is one year old!


By jc - Posted on 23 January 2008

Ouachita Hiking Journal was started 1 year ago.   In that year (2007) this site received roughly 12,000 visits from about 1,400 unique visitors.  Most referrals came from the Friends of the Ouachita Trail (FOoT) website, which kindly provides a link to OHJ.  The next most popular referral source was Google.   I guess that's not bad for a little website about hiking in part of Arkansas.   It is probably worth restating that the purpose of OHJ is simply to provide a resource for hikers interested in the Ouachita Mountains.   The photos are intended to show what these various places look like in all seasons and under various conditions.   The hike descriptions (both here and in the photo captions) are intended to provide a rough idea of what the trail or hiking area is like.   As most hikers are always looking for new places to explore, OHJ provides a place to get ideas and suggestions.    I hope at least a few people have found it interesting and useful.  -jc

I have a question I hope someone can answer for me,
I would like to thru hike the trail and would
like to know if there is any public trans to the
western end of the trail within say a days walk?
I know its only a day from Little Rock to the eastern
end but I think the closest I have been able to find
on the western end is McAlester and thats 50 miles about 3 days
walk. any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks Mother Goose

I am not aware of any public transportation on the Western end of the Ouachita Trail. I'll post this question at the top of this site and also e-mail some FoOT folks. -jc
