Kyles Landing Trailhead
|
Beginning our trek up
Indian Creek
|
We will do this several
times today
|
|
|
|
|
|
....and walk on narrow
ledges
|
...and cross
|
...and cross
|
|
|
|
|
|
A few trees were across
the "unofficial" trail
|
Our friend Philip has
rejoined us
|
Camera talk
|
|
|
Bob has found his
sitting place
|
|
|
Char holds this tree up
for us to cross under....sure!
|
|
Pamela has too!
|
|
|
|
|
|
David
|
A new waterfall we have
never seen before
|
So where is Bruce?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crossing
|
.....crossing
|
...and up Indian Creek
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chris found this log a
bit slippery
|
..so he instructs Dana
how "not" to fall off.
|
Bruce needs no
instructions
|
|
Nor does Pamela
|
|
|
| |
Our new friends from
Jonesboro...Dana and Chris
|
Rick fishing with his
trekking pole?
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and more new friends
from Kearney, Missouri ...Rick and Joanie
|
You either hop over or
go under
|
Not a good picture, but
this is Copperhead Falls
|
|
|
David's "neat" lunch
|
|
|
Water coming our of
Arkansas Cave (Tunnel Cave)
|
|
Nice waterfall before
going to the EYE.
|
|
...but first lunch
|
|
Bill ate beside
Arkansas Cave
|
| |
Some ate below Arkansas
Cave
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now for the fun part
....
|
...climbing up
|
...with a little help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All eighteen of us get
our turn
|
We did not want to have
to come back this way ... so we would look for another way out of the
canyon. One of our famous "short cuts". Bad choice!
|
One last look at
Arkansas Cave
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is where we are
headed, way up there! WOW!
|
Ron makes it standing
upright.
|
That is Arkansas Cave
way down there!
|
|
This is the ledge you
have to go around to access a hole in the bluff to get to The Eye
of the Needle. It is a bit "nervy" to do this.
|
Waiting their turn to
do the ledge.
|
|
| |
|
Gloria makes it
|
|
|
|
|
|
Char hangs on tight and
doesn't look down...me neither!
|
This is the hole that
allows you to access through the bluff
|
This is another hole
that gives you a great view of Arkansas Cave
|
|
Going through the hole
to The Eye
|
|
Us below the Eye.
Yea! We made it, now out of here.
|
| |
Our first sighting of
The Eye of the Needle
