DPT Camping Trip

During fall break, my physical therapy planned our annual camping trip to Petit Jean. The plan was to go up on Wednesday afternoon, but Angela, Nicki, and I decided to make a day of it and go up early!

Nicki and Angela were planning to leave early the next day, so I'm glad we went up early on Wednesday. We got in a hike to the waterfall and took some pictures at the overlook.



We were the first to get our tent up! Not that we were racing, but if we had been, the girls WON! I think me and Nicki have plenty of experience in the tent area. ;-)


We had quite an eventful night filled with no campfire (burn ban) and lots of varmints(skunks/armadillos) trying to raid the campsite. The next day, Nicki and Angela had to leave, but once everyone got up and going we headed out for some more hiking.

This was the view from the highest point. We had to do
some pretty intense climbing to get to this point, but SO worth it!

This was the group of girls that made it to the top! We had so much fun and got such a good workout! The next trail we hiked after climbing this mountain was 4ish miles in a couple hours, all to find out that the grand finale was all dryed up...bummer. All in all, I had a great time and enjoyed some very beautiful Arkansas fall scenery!
