My friend James Moore, aka The Busvlogger, told me that Camp Orr High Adventure Base at Triple Falls is the only Boy Scout camp within a US National Park. Yet, I believe she keeps many of her secrets hidden. Look how blue the water is in the background… Instantly, I imagined the letters are for my kids, Kelsey and Tate.
I would never carve on a tree, but I noticed the KT carved on this one. I had to stretch to reach it and enlarge the picture to really see it. Look at the miniscule mushroom growing inside this knothole.
For me, this is the heartbeat of everything. Fall shimmering against the blue sky.īut I also love to study the close up world found in curly moss and gray-green lichen, the tiniest insects and flowers. I love to take pictures of the big picture, the waterfalls and ridge lines, the trees in the distance. How amazing to know these brilliant areas are tucked away just off the roadside. (It’s much shorter than the drive from Highway 74.) The hike itself is super short and easy for all skill levels. We heard the roar of the waterfalls as soon as we stepped from the car. Near the end of the drive, we crossed a wet creek area and the road was muddy. My smallish SUV did fine in low gear, but a low-to-the-ground car might be tricky to maneuver. The gravel road was in good shape but steep in places. Drive 1.8 miles and park at the designated area at the base of Camp Orr. (I don’t believe this road had an obvious sign.) Drive 1 mile. Sherman turn right onto the gravel road at Kyles Landing and drive toward Camp Orr. You’ll need to invoke your country girl/boy directional skills.įrom Jasper: Drive west on Highway 74 to Mt. This year has been downright magical in the department of Arkansas waterfalls. But during wet years, a third waterfall appears. Often, during normal rainfall years, only two waterfalls flow. Confusing much? I believe this is because two separate bodies of water feed the waterfall-a creek feeds the right waterfall and a spring feeds the two left ones. Until apparition (a la Harry Potter) becomes a thing, this will have to do. Of course my pictures in no way capture the true majesty. What a scenic, must see spot! No worries if you can’t visit for real. Last week, John and I did a little exploring in Jasper, Arkansas with the goal to visit Triple Falls.
