Shaddox Hollow Nature Trail in Rogers, Arkansas is a trail our family loves to hike! We have hiked it so many times we could probably hike it in the dark. It's a quick hike at 1.4 miles, which is perfect because sometimes we don't always have time to do a massive trail but we still want to get out in the woods. Highlights of this trail: It's a loop, which I find my kids enjoy a more (or maybe it's just me ha!) because there's always new scenery. There is a lake stop, a small cave to explore, ...

But, for the longest time, I would never make bold statements out loud about myself like I did ... Read More about You Deserve To Believe You’re Freaking Amazing

Gilbert Railroad Trail, A Review
Gilbert is a very small, Arkansas town with a population of 33 people. There's a general store for renting canoes (there are a lot of other canoe rentals outside of town that are great too), there's a small post office, a church (of course, hello Bible Belt! Ha!), & a sweet country restaurant called Ferguson's where you need to go have an ENORMOUS cinnamon roll & some coffee. You can rent cabins & buy souvenir type items from the Gilbert General Store or you can go up the road to the ... Read More about Gilbert Railroad Trail, A Review
