Nov 4-5 (Sat-Sun) Ouachita Trail Outing, Oklahoma
Want to get away for a short backpacking trip to the mountains? The Ouachita trail is a beautiful mountain hike that begins in Eastern Oklahoma about 3.5 hours from Dallas. The Dallas Sierra Club is hosting a trip starting from the Winding Stair trailhead (34.715138, -94.6780312). Whether you are looking for your first overnight backpacking experience, want to test out your latest gear or just enjoy a weekend in the woods, this is the hike for you.
We will meet Saturday at 10:30 AM at the trailhead. The trail to the south-east is well maintained and amongst trees. On Saturday the hike will be 4.5 miles long and we will make camp at Red Springs. We will spend a lovely evening of camaraderie and stories (some true). On Sunday we will hike to the Big Cedar trailhead (2.5 miles all downhill – really). A car will be available to shuttle drivers back to the Winding Stair trailhead. You can then return to Dallas (or to your next destination).
