I can't say enough about all this park has to offer. It's got camping, hiking, waterfalls, a cave, unique rock formations, history, and amazing views.

We camped here in late fall and the colors did not disappoint, but I think the view would be beautiful any time of the year. #considerthewonders #youtubeshorts #arkans...

    Unless you are familiar with the refuge, you need at least a map, but a modern hiking app, with downloaded maps, is really the best way to hike in the refuge. There are too many trails that crisscross one another, (many are game trails), and can make it very easy to get lost or at least keep you from finding your destination. As others have stated, the wildlife refuge's mission is on animals, not people and they have very minimal signage.

    I’ve been researching this hike extensively as I’m considering doing it in several weeks. Some questions that I haven’t seen answered are 1) How legitimate is my concern for encountering rattlesnakes? 2) How narrow does the trail get near drop offs? 3) What, if anything would you have changed about training for it?

    • @ConsidertheWonders
      @ConsidertheWonders 8 місяців тому

      If you are going in a few weeks then you shouldn’t have to worry much about snakes. Still a bit cool + the trail is fairly wide so you have room to navigate if you do cross one. There were only a handful of narrow sections near the top but very manageable and we never felt worried. The inclines are legit so take your time and drink a lot of water. Look at the forecast and see how the wind is acting. We didn’t look at the wind forecast and it was soooo windy on the hike and that made it less fun 😶‍🌫️. Good luck 👍 and have fun 🙌🏼

    Im glad they took that water-crossing at turner falls. One year me and my friends we down to turner falls and they had a water-crossing closer to the falls. The problem with that was when it rained really hard it made it physically impossible to leave if you was camping on the mountain cause the height of the water and power going over that one spot. We where only going to stay the night and go back to little niagara butvtge water had different plans. We where stuck on that mountain for almost a week and we didn't bring much food with us cause we wasn't staying long or so we thought. We had to get off the mountain or starve and they had emergency services on the othrr side in case something happened. So the guy in front of me he made it across cause his car was heavy and low to the ground. Then it was my turn and im in a light weight pickup trying to cross this torrent of water. 2 of my friends got out and managed to make it across while im setting there nervous as all get out. Praying i don't get swept away and die in this rushing water. So i revved my truck and they got out the way and i just floored it and went thru that rushing water sideways all the way across. When i made it to the other side i told them we are never doing that again. From now on we are staying at the camp grounds close to little niagara. And we hadn't been back since. The only reason i know they changed it up is thru google maps. We almost died cause someone wanted a water-crossing in front of the falls it was 60 or 70 feet from the water fall. When it had rained the water was shooting out almost to the crossing from the very top.

    • @ConsidertheWonders
      @ConsidertheWonders 10 місяців тому

      The National Park Service doesn't do the bookings, that's Travel Yosemite. You can't reserve a specific number cabin but you can reserve a specific type of cabin. So if you're looking into Curry Village just go the Travel Yosemite website www.travelyosemite.com/lodging/curry-village/ and then scroll down to the ROOM TYPES and that will give you the options on what kind of canvas tent you want. Hit BOOK NOW and then put in the dates you would like to go. It'll search to see if that's available and if it is you can reserve it right then. I think the furthest you can book out is 13 months in advance (but it may be 12 months). The sooner you book the more likely you are to get the type of room you want. When you arrive at the park, they'll give you your cabin number then. That was our experience anyway. Hope that helps!

    The Refuge is not a park. Which means it's primary purpose is providing animal habitat. People camping is secondary. One of the primary goals was preventing the extinction of bison. In 1907, some bison were brought by train from the New York City Zoo to establish the herd. -- The Wichita mountains are very old and are the only east-west range in North America.
